What is art? And what is reality? Especially today, why should one draw or paint, carve or model, when an image can be captured with a camera? In a nineteenth-century painting, Interior with Portraits, by the American artist Thomas LeClear, two children stand painfully still while a photographer prepares to take their picture.
