I guess it's even more true of fashion photography, which – just like the religious paintings of the past – depicts social and gender roles in their most typified extremes, perpetuating the culture of hegemony in a way analogous to how the Medieval church did.</p>brainpickerThu, 18 Dec 2008 03:38:36 -0000http://www.brainpickings.org/index.php/2008/12/17/artist-spotlight-alan-macdonald/#comment-8192386<p>Amazing. I've always thought that modern graphic design was much like religious paintings in that they're both commissioned by the most powerful institutions of their time. I was unfamiliar with Alan Macdonald. Thank you for bringing his work to my attention.</p>James Kurtz IIIWed, 17 Dec 2008 17:09:34 -0000
