Montage: Activity 1

- Any new art form when it is first introduced will have its doubters or critics. Especially in a time when such a advanced art form as photography was just beginning. A combination of new ideas and an almost bizarre style of composition would have confused people of the time. And when people don't understand something, they become angry or frustrated. 
-This new art form may have also excited some people, as new trends also often do. The public could have been excited with this new style moving art and culture into the modern age. 

- I think this old technique may be making a revival because:

1.  With better editing programs like Photoshop, there are more possibilities for the artist to experiment, and make his/her images even more surreal or realistic looking.

2. Nowadays artists will do anything to stand out, and this older technique isn't very common; making it a perfect time to bring it back.
