Quoting out of context

Q. What does John Szarkowski mean when he says that photographers are quoting ‘out of
context’ when they make photographic pictures?

Photographs are images that convey a certain meaning by just the objects in the image, everything else that is not included in the image has no impact. Since the frame cuts all other objects out and there are only certain objects, viewers do not have a full real understanding of the scene but an interpretation by their minds of the scene through the objects and details that are captured in the image. So ultimately, photographers are just quoting out of context when they are taking pictures.

Q. The frame often ‘dissects familiar forms’. At the end of the last century photography was
having a major impact on Art. Impressionist artists such as Degas were influenced by what
they saw.
Find an example of his work which clearly shows this influence and explain why the public
might have been shocked to see such paintings.

The image above has empty spaces such as the one in the right, and this empty space was unconventional at the time of Degas, the primary figures are all concentrated to the middle left and empty space and dissected shapes are shown on the right. He also painted only a portion of the man, not drawing a full image of him, which shows his framing use.
