We all would love sometimes to be free from our own knowledge. It is even the most difficult to unlearn - as the most important problems are.
Ernst HaasEvery work of art has its necessity; find out your very own. Ask yourself if you would do it if nobody would ever see it, if you would never be compensated for it, if nobody ever wanted it. If you come to a clear โyesโ in spite of it, then go ahead and donโt doubt it anymore.
Ernst HaasThe camera only facilitates the taking. The photographer must do the giving in order to transform and transcend ordinary reality. The problem is to transform without deforming. He must gain intensity in form and content by bringing a subjective order into an objective chaos.
Ernst HaasIn every artist there is poetry. In every human being there is the poetic element. We know, we feel, we believe.
