Yes, when something is reproduced it can be called art because it is as close to to being an exact copy of an artwork that you can get. When art gets reproduced the copy is almost the same, but if you look closely at the photograph of a setting or painting you can see things in the setting or painting that the camera caught while taking the photograph that your naked eye couldn't see or didn't notice. When you saw the setting or painting while taking the photograph. A photograph even if reproduced should be considered art if it had something like Fading Away by Henry Pitch Robinson on it. Fading Away in my opinion has as much right to be called art as the Mona Lisa by Leonardo Da Vinci does even if it was reproduced one hundred times. That photograph is still famous even now though not many people have heard of it these days.
The importance of the mechanical reproducibility of the art is that the mechanical reproduction can be brought may not touch the work of art, yet the quality of its presence is always depreciated. For example, for a landscape which passes in review before the spectator in a movie, In the case of an art object, a sensitive nucleus basically, it's authenticity is interfered with where no other object is vulnerable on that. The authenticity of art is the essence of everything ranging from its beginning, ranging from its substansive testimony to the history it has experienced over the years. The historical testimony of the art work depends on its authenticity.
The impact of mechanical reducilbility on society is that mechanical reproduction of art changes the reaction of the masses toward art. For example, the reactionary attitude the people had toward a Picasso painting changes the progressive reaction toward a Chaplain movie. The progressive reaction is characterized by the direct, intimate fusion of visual and emotional enjoyment with the orientation of the expert. The greater the decrease in the social significance of an art form, the sharper distinction between criticism and enjoyment by the public. Individual reactions are predetermined by the mass audience response that is about to be produced and this is nowhere more pronounced than in the film. A painting has always had an excellent chance by one person or a few people at a time.
I think Photography is another form of art because it takes time to paint a portrait, however with photography you can just the photograph of a landscape for example and it could be considered art because artists also paint landscapes the difference between painting and photography is the time it takes to make the art. Some people feel that some controversial photographs don't deserve to be called art due to different reasons such as death or sadness, but even though the emotion in the photograph you are looking at is sad people can be happy because what they are looking at is beautiful and can make you appreciate the landscape, colors, emotion, etc in the photograph.
I think photography is a tool for the artists because they take photographs of any setting with people in it and call it a "masterpiece" or art. The photographer can also just use the picture to put it in a newspaper like David Hill, and Robert Adamson. For example, David Hill, and Robert Adamson took a picture of John Henning and the daughter of Lord Cockburn in a scene from Sir Walter Scott's Novel "The Antiquary" in 1845. There is a story underneath the photograph talking about combination printing which is two negatives masked and part of the print was made of one and part from the other. The artists also use photography and photographers especially from newspapers, magazines, Television, etc, to get more attention for their paintings or photographs to advertise them so that the artist can have more people come and pay to see their art and they can make some money for their hard work, while the people spread the word if they like the art and more people come to look at the painting or photograph and before you know it the artist will be famous known by a lot of people like Paul Strand.
Fading Away is a composition of five negatives in which he (Robinson) depicts that a girl is dying of Teuberculosis and the despair of the other members of the family as all they can do is watch. If somebody examined a large copy of the print they can see the "joins" especially the triangle of grey with no detail in it. These were contact prints as at that time there was no means of enlarging the photograph. At that time it was perfectly normal for painting a picture such as this and since Henry Robinson was a photographer and he took this photograph. This was a controversial photograph and some felt that it was not a suitable subject for photography. However, this photograph caught the attention of Prince Albert, who bought a copy of this photograph and issued an order for every composite photograph produced subsequently.
Digitization is basically print media. Digitization has not only changed the types of cameras that are being used, but the type of photographs that are being taken and the type of photographers that are taking them. Page design has evolved so much that it is consumed more easily and is supposed to serve the public by giving them the news that they want. Because of this, a new kind of Journalist is being made out of the technological changes and the shift in cultural expectations of the media.
