Okay, okay, you have me intrigued
Tell me what tye context is now
Do you know the deal with this photograph?
As it is, it is just an adorable little old photo. But with context, it turns into an artpiece. Without it, it's nothing special, just a picture from the early 20th century. But there's much more to it.
It's made by its context.
I appreciate it, as a context pro.
> Art critic John Berger wrote the book The Suit and the Photograph (1980), based on this photograph. He states: "The date is 1914. The three young men belong, at the very most, to the second generation who ever wore such suits in the European countryside. Twenty or 30 years earlier, such clothes did not exist at a price which peasants could afford."
> They all would fight in World War I, which started the same year, and one of them would die there. Their fashionable clothing and posture seem to give them a higher social status than they actually had.
