Sherrie Levine, Untitled (After Edward Weston)
(jazzy music) Voiceover: We're talking about a Sherrie Levine photograph which is entitled "Untitled" after Edward Weston.발음듣기
Voiceover: If it's a copy of what someone else did, and there's no original thought involved or thinking through things on her part, then what makes this art?발음듣기
That's part of the question that I think that's really what she wants to raise to some degree.발음듣기
She's following in the footsteps, you have to say, of someone like Marcel Duchamp who has already introduced the ready-made in the 19- teens, the idea that, what makes a work of art?발음듣기
Voiceover: Except that Dechamp sort of said, well, it's not about skill, but he did kind of shift it over to the conceptual; that it was still about choices and ideas.발음듣기
On the other hand, he's also borrowing, a good degree, from the whole history of the nude, the Classical nude.발음듣기
From this series, some of these look very, very similar to Donatello's young David, for example.발음듣기
Voiceover: There's a whole kind of Modernist thing going on for Weston; a kind of male artist inserting himself into tradition.발음듣기
A lot of artists, male or female, feel like everything's already been done before and deal with that anxiety.발음듣기
She takes that by the horns, ultimately, and sort of wrestles it to the ground and ends up doing something that no one had ever done before.발음듣기
Her rephotographing as someone else's photograph was something that no one had ever done before.발음듣기
Important writers had written that photographers had always failed to reproduce exactly another person's photograph, and here she does it, and she does it in a way that seems very simple to us, but in a way it was also something that was ultimately very creative.발음듣기
Unless you really are a connoisseur of prints, it would be very hard for you to tell the difference between her photograph and the original.발음듣기
A lot of times she might just photograph out of a catalog rather than standing in front of the actual thing.발음듣기
