The Whitney Biennial is always an incredibly controversial exhibition.  One of the goals of the show is to showcase the most important American art being made now.  There is no way to put together an exhibition with this mission without rubbing a lot of people the wrong way.  I know that my feelings are hurt every two years when I am not included.

If a man photographed these images, would they be different? If so, how and why?

Consider the relationship between Schorr’s images and photographic images found in

advertising or magazines. Describe the similarities and differences.
