Nature Does Not Create Works Of Art.

I Like Contradictions. We Have Never Attained The Infinite Variety And Contradictions That Exist In Nature. Tomorrow I Shall Contradict Myself. That Is The One Way I Have Of Asserting My Liberty, The Real Liberty One Does Not Find As A Member Of Society.

I Paint What Cannot Be Photographed, Something From The Imagination... I Photograph The Things I Don't Want To Paint, Things That Are Already In Existence.

Is Photography An Art? There Is No Point In Trying To Find Out If It Is An Art. Art Is Old-fashioned. We Need Something Else.

If I'd Had The Nerve, I'd Have Become A Thief Or A Gangster, But Since I Didn't, I Became A Photographer.

I Do Not Photograph Nature. I Photograph My Visions.
