“When you meet the man you see at once that he is equipped with no ordinary eyes” -Henry Miller “Seville”

“There are many photographs which are full of life but which are confusing and difficult to remember. It is the force of an image which matter.” -Brassaï

“True art transcends social distinctions and cultural biases, eliminating the artificial barriers we impose on ourselves. Art explores truth, what it means to be human and alive. And in his body of work, the famed Parisian photographer Brassai meets all of these conditions.” -Crystal Wyrick

“Do you know what Picasso said when he looked at my drawings in 1939 “Do you know what Picasso said when he looked at my drawings in 1939? ‘You’re crazy, Brassai. You have a gold mine and you spend your time exploiting a salt mine!’ The salt mine was – naturally – photography!” -Brassaï

“..the thing that is magnificent about photography is that it can produce images that incite emotion based on the subject matter alone.” -Brassaï
