My cloud photographs are equivalents of my most profound life experiences, my basic philosophy of life. All art is an equivalent of the artistโs most profound life experiences.
Alfred StieglitzMy photographs are a picture of the chaos in the world, and of my relationship to that chaos. My prints show the worldโs constant upsetting of manโs equilibrium, and his eternal battle to reestablish it.
Alfred StieglitzIt is not art in the professionalized sense about which I care, but that which is created sacredly, as a result of a deep inner experience, with all of oneself, and that becomes 'art' in time.
Alfred StieglitzI have all but killed myself for Photography. My passion for it is greater than ever. It's forty years that I have fought its fight... I am not fighting to make a 'name' for myself. Maybe you have some feeling for what the fight is for. It's a world's fight... All that's born of spirit seems mad in these days of materialism run riot.
