“If you work diligently... without saying to yourself beforehand, 'I want to make this or that,' if you work as though you were making a pair of shoes, without artistic preoccupation, you will not always find you do well. But the days you least expect it, you will find a subject which holds its own with the work of those who have gone before.” IfsWantWellsGoneSubjectsShoesPlanningArtisticPairsPreoccupationPair Of Shoes Author:Vincent Van Gogh

In exercising this power, painting and poetry have a choice of subject almost unlimited.” WorldWayHumanityChoicesImaginationCommonCreativityNovelSubjectsCreationPaintingGeniusExerciseIntellectArtisticAtmosphereRejoiceUnlimitedImaginativeTransformingTransmitConceivingArtistic GeniusPainting And Poetry Book:The Renaissance Source: The Renaissance

“It's a pity I am so impatient and careless, as any ordinary person could learn all the techniques of photography in a week. It is the democratic art, i.e. technical skill is practically eliminated - the more foolproof cameras become with focusing and exposure gadgets the better - and artistic quality depends only on choice of subject.” PersonsArtChoicesQualityWeekSubjectsDependsSkillsPhotographyOrdinaryCamerasDemocraticTechniquePityArtisticExposureImpatientCarelessGadgetsOrdinary PersonTechnical SkillsFoolproof Author:W.
