If My Story Were Ever To Be

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.

Each Work Of Art Is A Collection Of Signs Invented During The Picture's Execution To Suit The Needs Of Their Position. Taken Out Of The Composition For Which They Were Created, These Signs Have No Further Use.

A Work Should Contain Its Total Meaning Within Itself And Should Impress It On The Spectator Before He Even Knows The Subject.

I Have Been No More Than A Medium, As It Were.

It Is Only After Years Of Preparation That The Young Artist Should Touch Color - Not Color Used Descriptively, That Is, But As A Means Of Personal Expression.
