what is style? if you look at Picasso's paintings over his complete life, is this one way of painting? ok, some die early, like Modigliani, so it is easy to recognize them. Photographers with style? How many images are really attributed (in a historical context) to a certain photographer like Man Ray, Helmut Newton? I guess, not many... if you look at paintings of Mel Ramos, Sorayama, Vargas, their style appears like a curse to do it always the same way (more or less of course...) But this then in contrast to the way how f.i. El Greco painted... I'm actually definitely undecided....
