Chapter 17 - Solomon-Godeau Article

1)How was the physical printing and manifestation of the image on paper become problematic int he search for the real thing, according to Solomon-Godeau's statement on page 153?

2)the idea of appropriation becomes the central topic in this chapter, when talking about Levine's copy photographs and how the are "made to seem" to be able to capture the idea of something as broad at 'Nature', it would be a worth while experiment to appropriate some image by continuously recopying the image through various modes of copying and displaying these images.

3)Why has photography become the ideal scapegoat from things like copyright infringement and what does that say about its presence within an artistic realm? does the social and governmental recognition of the notion that the image, namely a photograph, needs to be protected by and for the photographer?

4)With the technological advances of photography being anything less than exponential in the past two centuries, in what ways might you think societal views of appropriation will change due to the introduction of post-modernism and photography?

5)In terms of actually appropriating an image, do you think that the photographing on an already existing image is where post-modernism lies or would it be fair to say that in a post-modernist point of view, the appropriation of the already existing image could be valid through ANY mode of means of transference or reproduction
