Review of a Review



            I read the review: Presages: Gordon Smith’s Kentucky Coal Country Photographs, by: Karen S. Chambers.   Overall I found this review very informative and interesting.  She did a great job writing the description of the exhibit.  This made you knowledgeable of what the artist was going through, what they were capturing with photography, and the reason why he was taking photographs of this.  I feel like she skipped the analysis and just focused on the interpretations.  I also did not catch much judgment.  So, I feel like she just really wanted people to know what the purpose of the art was and why people should care, which I enjoyed.   The only real problem I had was that some of the photographs she explained weren’t shown.  However she did do a great job describing them.  So this was a good review for me to read to learn how to put the background information and description of the exhibit in my paper.
