Selective color C&C

I KNEW IT!

Well, apparently SC wasn't always considered so gauche. Selective coloration was actually included in Group f/64's original manifesto. At least it was until a Weston landscape with chartreuse trees gave Imogen Cunningham a horrific case of nausea, from which point onward it was a taboo subject.

How could selective coloring fit in with the new modernist ideology of absolute objectivity?

(BTW: I'm still mad at them for the whole Mortensen thing)

It couldn't. I was joking of course, but you knew that.

(FWIW, I like equally the work of many Pictorialists and Modernists, but for rather different reasons, naturally. And, however different their agendas may have been, they both had something interesting to say.)

Sorry for the hijack. :3

Actually I didn't, but I did have a hard time beleiving it and just figured you were just trying to sound smart... I did look for Weston's chartruese trees, if for any reason than to say "See, I told you that f/64 were a bunch of hypocritical arsewagons!"

I was really, really hoping...
