Tom Beck, Albin O. Kuhn Library and Gallery, in the Baltimore Sun
The Baltimore Sun noted that celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz’s imitation of an Old Master image of “Hannah Montana” star Miley Cirus isn’t necessarily fine art but holds historical and sociological precedent. “The Cyrus pictures certainly point out one of the biggest contradictions in our society,” Tom Beck, chief curator of the Albin O. Kuhn Library and Gallery, told the paper. “On the one hand, our society loves to be titillated with erotic imagery… On the other hand, we have worked mightily to diminish the sexual display of young women under 18.” The story, “Miley Cyrus Photograph,” appeared on April 30.
