The aesthetic experience has to be given. And beauty is a regular experience of every person - every person who is not clinically depressed!

To me, the greatest artists are almost entirely non-verbal.

Beauty is a physiological reaction. Beauty is not an object.

Black and white can show how something is. Color adds how it is, imbued with temperatures and humidities of experience.

I'm absolutely convinced that people cannot look and read at the same time. Not any more than you can kneel and jump at the same time. It's a completely different physiological setting.

Photography is the art of anticipation, not working with memories, but showing their formation. As such, it has relentlessly usurped imaginative and critical prerogatives of older, slower literature and handmade visual art.

Picasso had nicknamed Georges Braque "Wilbur," thereby becoming "Orville" in their Wright Brothers-like ambition to get painting off the ground of conventional representation.
