1859, Charles Baudelaire: “This industry,” he writes, “by invading the territories of art, has become art’s most mortal enemy.” "But photography, he argues, cannot be part of the domain of art, because, lo! it doesn’t ad anything to our souls: “But if it be allowed to encroach upon the domain of the impalpable and the imaginary, upon anything whose value depends solely upon the addition of something of a man’s soul, then it will be so much the worse for us!”
