All Good Work Has Magic In It,

The Question Of Truth Is Forever In The Air, And People Look For It With Particular Fervor In Art.

If I Indulge Myself And Surrender To Memory, I Can Still Feel The Knot Of Excitement That Gripped Me As I Turned The Corner Into Rue Mimosas, Looking For The House Of Rene Magritte. It Was August, 1965. I Was 33 Years Old And About To Meet The Man Whose Profound And Witty Surrealist Paintings Had Contradicted My Assumptions About Photography.

Art Is Not Fashionable. That's Why Fashion And Art Are Two Different Things. Fashion Can Never Be Art Because Fashion Deals With Whim, What Is Temporary, What Changes, What Is Transient, What Is Now And Not Now. Art Has To Deal With Issues That Are Timeless, That Never Change.

I Am Interested In The Nature Of Things. The Nature Of Something Is Quite Different From The Way It Looks.

I Am An Expressionist And By That I Mean That I'm Not A Photographer Or A Writer Or A Painter Or A Tap Dancer, But Rather Someone Who Expresses Himself According To His Needs.
