The art world buries two who taught it how to see

David Hockney died at 88, Duane Michals at 94, within two days of each other in early June. *A painter who spent seventy years insisting on the joy of looking, and a photographer who wrote on his prints because the image alone was never the whole truth. Both gone in the same week the machines that now generate images crossed new thresholds. The hand that saw is being mourned exactly as the eye that needs no hand arrives.* ---
