B vs. C

The last paragraph reveals the author's attitude towards artists using the old photographic techniques. She describes the product of the old techniques as "one of the kind." She uses language such as "intimate/intimacy," and "indelible." This language does not suggest "amusement" of any kind, ironic or otherwise; rather it conveys appreciation and understanding of "the deeper motivations" of these artists whom the author calls "avant-gardists."
