This was my first encounter with art as art (he saw 'Pinky' painted by Sir Thomas Lawrence and 'The Blue Boy" painted by Thomas Gainborough).. ..somebody actually MADE those paintings.. ..(it) was the first time I realized you could be an artist.

This telegram is a work of art if I say it is.

For me there is no difference between art and life.

There is no reason not to consider the world as one gigantic painting.

I'm quite taken aback when I get something that appears to be technically a good photograph, because it's not necessarily my intention.

It is impossible to have progress without conscience

Sometimes I have taken photographs and just felt so excited that I could barely hold the camera steady, and the photo was boring.
