Richard Misrach's photography


1. The enlightenement is a combination of ideas, values, facts and principles which work together to provide a better perspective of the natural and social world. The age os enlightenment in the western era of philosophy and intellectual, scientific and cultural life is centred upon the 18th century.


2. The sublime is where an author or artist expresses them selves through their work affecting the way one may percieve something by it overpowering beauty and its effect of awe it may have on them.


3. The enlightenment is a concept of a set of ideas used to progress mankind. The element of the sublime progresses mankind through its power to affect the way mankind may percieve things opening their minds to better ways of solving problems or changing there perspective on life.


4. Matter is anything with mass, the substance of all physuical objects. Misrach's photos are very beautiful and enchanting. His photos of our earth may make us think twice before littering or doing anythig harmful to our planet. His works shows off how beautiful and powerful the earth is and how abusing the earth is wrong.


5. Jim Dine, Dieter Appelt, Richard Anderson, David Byrne and Shilpa Gupta are a few artists that work around the idea of sublime.


6. Misrach's powerful photographs inspire me to be more conscious of our earth. All his works overwhelm me with a feeling of awe.
