Write a research paper of 1500 words minimum about a photograph by one of the photographers listed below. Select a second work, this one by an artist who worked in another medium (not photography), that you believe is a good comparison to the photograph that you have selected. The work may be a painting, sculpture, etching, song, poem, play or movie. Compare and contrast the two works.
It is not enough that the two works are similar in subject, but they should also have the same feeling or character (dark and brooding or light and airy, for example).
