"It is fabulous. What a joy of a thing to work with.The camera is the most eager and helpful of all beings, all full of happy suggestions. Reminding me of things I have overlooked and cooperating in the creation of new worlds. So Simply. This is a Zen camera."

Thomas Merton

"Words have meaning, and type has spirit…"

“The photographer had been a slave of the camera for a long time.  Good camera, lens, Leica, etc.  These were the masters of a photographer.  But in a way, Daido Moriyama is a photographer who started to make the camera his own slave.” Nobuyoshi Araki

"[The artist’s] job was similar to the scientist’s in that he had to translate in a concise and durable language the multiple meanings of the universe, meanings that until then had remained too enigmatic to be perceived."

Marcel Marnat

"Art had become a serious business and it was believe that the “artist” could penetrate the unknown aspect of things, even if the effect produced was ultimately one of laughter."

Marcel Marnat

"Klee’s ability to perceive the most infinitesimal vibrations at the heart of things explains the apparently effortless quality of his work and his formidable output. The voices that we can hear in his paintings are unexpected and at the same time familiar; part of the constant renewal of his vision, they also remind us of the forgotten voices of our own childhood dreams, fantasies and sometimes nightmares."

Marcel Marnat

"Art does not reproduce what can be seen: it makes things visible."

Paul Klee
