6. What difference does it make that we know the "author" of one and not the other? (given that "authorship" is a somewhat vexed notion in regard to printmaking) b) Can we say that these prints represent the same ideas/ideals/notions/presumptions about crowd violence? How would we unpack the differences in representation (the choice of perspective, for instance -- the one telescoped, the other wide angle)? Are these differences the result of differences in the purpose of the prints (Prieur's is part of a series, for instance). c) In regard to Wayne's interests, does this kind of event ever appear on a medal or is the level of violence somehow incompatible with that kind of representation (in metal as opposed to on paper, more sculptural than pictorial, etc.) d) Is gender more of an issue when the action is viewed up close?
