1. SURREALISM

2. SURREALISM, n. Psychic automatism in its pure state, by
which one proposes to express—verbally, by means of the
written word, or in any other manner—the actual
functioning of thought. Dictated by thought, in the
absence of any control exercised by reason, exempt from
any aesthetic or moral concern.

3. Andre Breton

4. I have always been amazed at
the way an ordinary observer
lends so much more credence
and attaches so much more
importance to waking events
than to those occurring in
dreams... Man... is above all
the plaything of his memory.
Andre Breton

7. I believe that truth
has only one face:

much more intense
than that of certain

57. Alfred Stieglitz

58. "Photography is not an art. Neither
is painting, nor sculpture,
literature or music. They are only
different media for the individual
to express his aesthetic feelings…
You do not have to be a painter or
a sculptor to be an artist. You may
be a shoemaker. You may be
creative as such. And, if so, you are
a greater artist than the majority
of the painters whose work is
shown in the art galleries of
today."
