Quick, interesting article. Artists mentioned include Wade Guyton, Gerhard Ricther, Alfred Leslie, & James Welling.

"Several New York shows in the past six months indicate that painting and photography remain locked in an uneasy, codependent relationship but have also learned to feed off each other in the digital era as never before."

"Debates about the sway of machines on picture making are not new. Nor are they ever settled. Photographers and paintings have borrowed freely from each other - there were hand-tinted photographs in the 19th century and photorealist painters in the 20th century - even as they struggled to establish their own artistic identity and supremacy."
