The image is a two-column text document, appearing to be a printed page from a publication. At the top, in bold, larger text, the title reads "AUDREY FLACK'S PHOTOGRAPHS: AN APPRECIATION," followed by "By Gene Thornton." The text is divided into two main columns with a justified alignment, and the font is a serif typeface, typical for a printed article or essay. The document looks like an art review or scholarly essay, beginning with the author's personal reflection on Audrey Flack's work. The writer discusses the relationship between Flack's photographs and her paintings, considering why she creates paintings from her photographs. Concepts such as trompe l'oeil, scale differences, and the impact of viewing distance on the appreciation of an artwork are touched upon. The text in the left column includes a reflection on the stark differences between Flack's photographs and paintings and the author's questioning of why Flack chooses to make paintings from her photos when the photos convey so much. The right column seems to continue discussing the nature of Flack's work in comparison to traditional art forms and photographic techniques. There appears to be a critical analysis of how the scale of Flack's photos is used to create an effect similar to a connoisseur's study and how her works are finished pieces in themselves. The essay also mentions comparisons with other artists and photographers, like Degas and Eakins, as well as the technical aspects of producing such photographic still lifes. It explores themes in Flack's photographs related to celebrations of the good life, modern-day consumer goods, and a contrast with a deeper, more unsettling subtext beneath the surface of the images.
