To remember and not forget, we are in a loop now with AI art:
(19th century, photography was dismissed as a "mechanical process" rather than a creative one)
* Charles Baudelaire. 1859 (poet),
This industry, by invading the territories of art, has become art's most mortal enemy."
* 1855 Exposition Universelle (Paris)
Photography was exhibited to the public, but it was physically separated from the "Fine Arts" building. Instead, it was placed in the building for science and industry.
This was not considered art ,
Roger Fenton, 1855
