IT COMES as no surprise that the Boston Museum of Fine Arts is now featuring work of the celebrity photographer Mario Testino in an appropriately titled “In Your Face” exhibit (“MFA showcases a sure grasp of glamour,” Oct. 15).
For years Malcolm Rogers, the museum’s director, has been degrading art.

I hear he is about to import a show from Vienna's Leopold Museum.
I guess creativity is art rather than "fine art", or perhaps "fine art" evolves from art through creativity. If The Museum of Fine Arts excludes art and features "fine art", then what would happen to creativity? Art is for everyone according to everyone's individual taste.
Photography is art when it is well executed. The Mario Testino photography exhibit is indeed art: The pictures are thought-provoking, beautifully displayed.
So, what if the captions list where the picture originally ran! You call that a 'distraction?' What a foolish statement. If you have such a short attention span - how can you claim to be an art critic?
