Landscapes, heads and naked women are called artistic photography, while photographs of current events are called press photography.

Only the camera seems to be really capable of describing modern life.

I reduced painting to its logical conclusion and exhibited three canvases: red, blue, and yellow. I affirmed: this is the end of painting.

We struggle against easel painting not because it is an aesthetic form of painting, but because it is not modern, for it does not succeed in bringing out the technical side, it is a redundant, exclusive art, and cannot be of any use to the masses. Hence we are struggling not against painting but against photography carried out as if it were an etching, a drawing, a picture in sepia or watercolor.

Landscapes, heads and naked women are called artistic photography, while photographs of current events are called press photography.

Photography - the new, rapid, concrete reflector of the world - should surely undertake to show the world from all vantage points, and to develop people's capacity to see from all sides. (1928)

We must revolutionize our optical perception. We must remove the veil from our eyes.
