Briefly discuss why you think painters of the Victorian period might have criticized these early photomontages and why the pictures were popular with the general public. (This technique of piecing together separate images to create one picture is again very popular with both artists and the media).
What two reasons can you think of for this revival of an old technique?
I believe that painters of the Victorian Era criticized these images because they were manipulated by using that technique of piecing together separate images, and merging them into one. I think that photo manipulation is still considered art, even though these images did not come to be naturally. I feel that these types of techniques have been revived because they give art a broader definition. No longer do your photos have to be simple, and you can create anything you want with your photography. I also feel that people have become more creative as the dawn of technology was approaching. Before photo paper, photos were only developed on glass and sheets of metal. Then, they went from printing photos in black and white to using color. I'm sure that in the future, there will be more advanced ways to create art.
