I don't invent anything. I imagine everything... most of the time, I have drawn my images from the daily life around me. I think that it is by capturing reality in the humblest, most sincere, most everyday way I can, that I can penetrate to the extraordinary.
BrassaiPhotography in our time leaves us with a grave responsibility. While we are playing in our studios with broken flowerpots, oranges, nude studies and still lifes, one day we know that we will be brought to account: life is passing before our eyes without our ever having seen a thing.
BrassaiPhotography is the very conscience of painting. It constantly reminds the later of what it must not do.
BrassaiOnly powerfully conceived images have the ability to penetrate the memory, to stay there, in short to become unforgettable.
