Andre Brazen

Andre Brazen delineates the purpose of painting and photography and the mechanics of their differences. The mechanics have improved in painting by ideological progression, such as discovery of perspective.  The painter sees first something with the eye.  That image is stored in mind and reproduced over time. The storage of the memory becomes more complex with a drawing and confers a unique ability to an artist.  Validity of the rendered form came into question when the reasoning behind realism was interrupted by the camera, thus came paintings with modern dimensional schemes.  The photographer also sees first with his eye, but the stored image replaces the drawing hand.  There is change of subjective artistry when comparing painting to photography.  Immediate images allow for a riddance of preconceptions about how something should be conveyed.  The artistry is altogether different because of the tools used.
