Photography in the Fine Arts exhibit at the Met
The Metropolitan Museum of Art opens its fourth Photography in the Fine Arts exhibition in New York. It features 152 photographs by 129 photographers, including 66 color works, chosen by a nine member jury led by James J. Rorimer. The event reflects 18 months of global search and the debate over whether photographers or art critics decide what qualifies as fine art. A standout image shows a mother gorilla gazing at her baby, illustrating warmth amid critique.
