Ansel Adams quotes about
art men expression
All art is the expression of one and the same thing- the relation of the spirit of man to the spirit of other men and to the world.
photography art reality
All art is a vision penetrating the illusions of reality, and photography is one form of this vision and revelation.
art light expression
It is increasingly clear to me that my art relates more and more to a sublimation of my closeness to the natural world, it's events, light itself, and the positive it is a personal expression based on observation and reaction, that I am not able to define except in terms of the work itself.
art giving events
There are no forms in nature. Nature is a vast, chaotic collection of shapes. You as an artist create configurations out of chaos. You make a formal statement where there was none to begin with. All art is a combination of an external event and an internal event… I make a photograph to give you the equivalent of what I felt. Equivalent is still the best word.
art expression vivid
With all art expression, when something is seen, it is a vivid experience, sudden, compelling, and inevitable.
believe artist next
I eagerly await new concepts and processes. I believe that the electronic image will be the next major advance. Such systems will have their own inherent and inescapable structural characteristics, and the artist and functional practitioner will again strive to comprehend and control them.
adventure artist photographer
The artist and the photographer seek the mysteries and the adventure of experience in nature.
art looks sometimes
I can look at a fine art photograph and sometimes I can hear music.
art light giving
Art is both the taking and giving of beauty, the turning out to the light of the inner folds of the awareness of the spirit.
art self design
Impression is not enough. Design, style, technique - these, too, are not enough. Art must reach further than impression or self-revelation .
art eye oneness
Life is your art. An open, aware heart is your camera. A oneness with your world is your film. Your bright eyes and easy smile is your museum.
photography art soul
I tried to keep both arts alive, but the camera won. I found that while the camera does not express the soul, perhaps a photograph can!
art negative way
The negative is comparable to the composer's score and the print to its performance. Each performance differs in subtle ways.
photography art easy
It is easy to take a photograph, but it is harder to make a masterpiece in photography than in any other art medium.
