  Richard Avedon Quote
  
• Photography, as a powerful medium of expression and communications, offers an infinite variety of perception, interpretation and execution.
  Ansel Adams Quote

  Andres Serrano Quote
  
• I didn't want to make "high" art, I had no interest in using paint, I wanted to find something that anyone could relate to without knowing about contemporary art. I wasn't thinking in terms of precious prints or archival quality; I didn't want the work to seem like a commodity.
  Cindy Sherman Quote
  
• There comes a point where you see it all as completely empty being a popular artist to the extent that people who are not necessarily interested in art know about things or take some little interest. I think that now for me it's a burden. It's a bit hard to deal with and it wastes time as well.
  David Hockney Quote
  
• I was supporting myself, but nothing like the guy painters, as I refer to them. I always resented that actually.. we were all getting the same amount of press, but they were going gangbusters with sales.
  Cindy Sherman Quote
  
• I have never been able to see myself as fitting into one category, and I have never been able to limit my contact with people to one group of people.
  Andres Serrano Quote
