The Google doodle: A highly creative home page homage
Apr 19th
It started with Burning Man in 1998 and took off from there. The images, which celebrate dates, people and events, have become increasingly active and interactive. Photographer Robert Doisneau is known for Parisian street scenes that reflected his fascination with what he called “the marvels of daily life.” Four of his images — including his famous (if posed) 1950 picture of a kissing couple — graced last weekend’s Google doodle, the variation on its home-page logo with which the company celebrates special dates, people and events.

Art review: Cindy Sherman’s many faces
Apr 1st
The photographer, known for serving as her own model, is given a New York retrospective. It offers many insights but includes work that blurred. — Toward the end of the Cindy Sherman retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art, a flat-screen monitor plays “Doll Clothes,” one of the artist’s earliest works. The two-minute, black-and-white stop-motion animation was made in 1975, when Sherman was an undergraduate at Buffalo State College. It features the artist, in undergarments, as a photographic paper doll who lifts herself out of an album pocket, leafs through pages of wardrobe options and picks out a dress. After putting it on, she begins to explore the more fully dimensional realm of objects atop a dresser until an anonymous hand reaching in from off-screen plucks her out of her newfound reverie and puts her back in her appointed slot — captive, dependent and inert once again.

Phillips Collection exhibition links the box camera and painters
Mar 25th
The first Kodak camera had a big influence on painting, as ‘Snapshot: Painters and Photography, Bonnard to Vuillard’ details. George Eastman introduced the first Kodak camera in 1888. It was a small wooden box covered in Morocco leather with a roll of dry film inside. You no longer had to be a professional carrying a tripod, heavy plates, a darkening cape and liquid developer to take a photograph. Any amateur could hold the box waist-high, aim at a subject like the family and press the button that released the shutter that covered the lens. The box — later just the roll — could be sent back to the company to develop the film. Kodak advertisements promised, “You press the button, we do the rest.”
