...brilliance of the work rests not just upon the quality of the print's resolution, however, but also upon this conceptual turn: the photo is not really of the Emperor, but of his wax figure at Madame Tussaud's museum in London. Wax statues look almost laughably fake in person, but Sugimoto exploits the power (or perhaps the weakness) of the camera's single eye to flatten perspective and encourage illusion, thereby creating an image that looks more real, more human than the wax object he is photographing.

For the good of the Church, there could be no angling for the papacy while he was called upon to be the sole...
...Japan and the U.S., and showcases his imagined foreign scenes and modest, less well-known landscapes. A wealth of documentary material illuminates the way he synthesized his jungles of the mind. The show will travel to the Grand Palais, Paris, and the National Gallery of Art, Washington. Rousseau burst upon the art world in 1891 with Surprised!, the first of his jungle pictures. A tiger in a rainstorm crouches, with bared fangs and flaring whiskers, in a complex pattern of leaves and grass like botanical illustrations come alive. The soaking rain is indicated by subtle transparent streaks. When you recover...
