Vision, Language, and Influence:
Photographs of the South by Baldwin Lee, Walker Evans, and Eudora Welty
Knoxville Museum of Art
May 14 – August 1, 2010
Vision, Language, and Influence brings together for the first time the work of three photographers of the American South over a 50-year period. Walker Evans (1903-1976) is represented by incisive images of Alabama sharecroppers stemming from his epic collaboration with James Agee on Let Us Now Praise Famous Men. Eudora Welty (1909-2001) was a Pulitzer Prize-winning Southern writer and photographer who traveled across Mississippi in the 1930s and early 1940s taking photographs and documenting rural and small-town life in her home state. Baldwin Lee (born 1951) is a professor of photography at the University of Tennessee, and a former assistant to Walker Evans. Complementing the 50 or so works by Evans and Welty are more than 30 of Lee’s images of African-American life in the South taken during the 1980s with the support of fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts.
Vision, Language, and Influence was organized by the Knoxville Museum of Art in collaboration with Baldwin Lee.
It's actually a macro shot (you might notice the slight barrel distortion). The books were part of a special edition of very small (and colourful) paperbacks.

Although there is a positive relationship between dogs and human language, a dog has no concept of the "English" language.
However, According to Hungarian scientists who published a groundbreaking study, dogs understand the meaning of words and the intonation with which they are spoken.
Let's say that even if you tell your dog in a very excited tone that he needs to go to the vet, he will probably see right through you and not want to go.
It doesn't matter what the sound is called. You could teach it the Spanish word for "sit," the English term for "turn around," and the Chinese word for "wait."
It doesn't learn multiple languages, and it doesn't know that these words come from different languages.
The dog knows that when the human makes that sound, it should respond with a sound of its own; when it makes a particular sound, its owners praise it with treats and love.
Dogs' Understanding Of The Human Language
In the twenties, there was an elephant in a circus who was thought not to know any tricks, but it turned out that he knew all the schemes but responded only to Polish commands. So they had to retrain him in English. This story was made into the book/movie Water for Elephants.
Most Dogs Understand Human Language
The rhythm, patterns, tone of voice, and body language extensively communicate our intent to the dog. They can learn commands if someone takes the time to teach them consistently.

Two rather jaunty looking soldiers are engaged in chatting to a local girl. They have their hats tipped back and are casually smoking cigarettes. They are both posing slightly. The girl appears to be dressed in her work clothes and is behaving in a coy, embarrassed manner. There is work yard paraphernalia in the background.
Despite the cosy propaganda value of this picture, by the later stages of the war many local women sold themselves or their daughters to soldiers in exchange for food or warmth.
