Identifying Subject Matter!


We have begun a project on identifying subject matter. We had to collect some images to appropriate and use them as tools to help us along the way. The images I gathered were all very mysterious and emotive and dealt with the human condition. I realised after that they are all dealing with the figure. Two are from Andy Warhol’s very famous Screen Tests.





The two images above were taken by a famous spirit photographer William H. Mumler. Whether they are a hoax or not is unimportant. They are very special and unique documents.
