I Was Driven On By.. A Force

If It Is Practiced By A Man Of Taste, The Photograph Will Have The Appearance Of Art (but) The Photographer Must...intervene As Little As Possible, So As Not To Lose The Objective Charm Which It Naturally Possesses.

It Would Be A Mistake To Ascribe This Creative Power To An Inborn Talent. In Art, The Genius Creator Is Not Just A Gifted Being, But A Person Who Has Succeeded In Arranging For Their Appointed End, A Complex Of Activities, Of Which The Work Is The Outcome. The Artist Begins With A Vision — A Creative Operation Requiring An Effort. Creativity Takes Courage.

I Have Simply Wished To Assert The Reasoned And Independent Feeling Of My Own Individuality Within A Total Knowledge Of Tradition.

It Has Bothered Me All My Life That I Do Not Paint Like Everybody Else.

In Love, The One Who Runs Away Is The Winner.
