...Women's Wear Baily was barred from the reception merely for revealing the wedding-dress design, TIME'S people must have been maxima non grata after printing that 1956 snapshot. Even we Lyndonphobes thought it ungentlemanly to remind the swan there was a duckling...
...HANS HAACKE, 29, follows the natural German bent for scientific phenomena. At 18, he painted boxy Bauhaus abstractions, but this art seemed too rooted in place. "We now know that there is nothing stabile. For centuries, people tried to convey motion. Symbols, snapshot representations, impressionism. All this was based on a convention everyone understood. But it was never the reality of motion. I want reality." Haacke made sealed Plexiglas boxes with enough water inside to evaporate in the sun and then drip in random patterns down the sides. Next he tried what he calls "hourglasses," something like stereo-kaleidescopes, which...
...things." Poet Elizabeth Bishop is another one of these. For more than 30 years, she has wandered the five continents in search of the intractable, in search of a beauty unbefriending and the poetry of the passing strange. Travel is her profession, and her art is the art of snapshot.

Historic Journey. Remarkable as those photographs were, they tended for a few excited moments to hide the rest of a remarkable feat. Without a single snapshot to show for its travels, Mariner IV would still have earned its place in the annals of science. In its 325-million-mile, 228-day flight, it had charted interplanetary reaches never before explored by man and set an impressive record for long-distance communication. All during its trip, Mariner sent back valuable scientific information about the solar wind, cosmic dust, magnetic fields and deep-space radiation. In the vicinity of the red planet...
...established that contemporary portraits are two-way mirrors. Larry Rivers makes a collage portrait of Pop Artist Jim Dine on a metal storm window. Raise the bottom half, lower the top pane, and presto, a different Dine peers through. Pop Artist Andy Warhol tries to beat the penny-arcade snapshot by silk-screening the image many times over. Reginald Pollack found he had painted himself into a corner; his Self-Portrait (opposite page) shows his face surrounded by images of the girl he was then courting. She outnumbers him 6 to 1, and she got the message; when the portrait...
