Now, since we have not discussed this reading, I cannot say "Oh, I was confused, but now I understand the point Krauss was attempting to prove." That reading was completely confusing, although not as confusing as Camera Lucida in my eyes. What I got from this reading was a background on landscape, the importance of the beginning of the museum, and the change of the word "landscape" to "view". Now, those are just the key concepts. If I were asked to delve into each topic, I couldn't relay any more information than given. The majority of the article seemed to be focused on the change of the word "landscape" to "view". I truly do not understand why this simple change was so important that the topic of its occurence was stretched out into that many pages and filled with an intense set of large vocabulary words. In my opinion, that is what a lot of essays and articles seem to be filled with ever since I have stepped into the world of "college readings"--a very simple topic turned into a very huge ordeal and explained with terms only those with years of higher education could possibly and entirely understand. That may be a very cynical and immature view, but it is the truth. I see a lot of repetition, and a lot of things said that could be said much simpler. What happened to that idea? Simplicity. I have seemed to lost that wonderful concept since I have entered college. But, maybe it is for the best, because art, and even life itself, is far from simple.
