Gyula Halasz, Brassai - From the Ambition category:
My ambition was always to show aspects of daily life as if we were seeing them for the first time. (Gyula Halasz, Brassai)
Gyula Halasz, Brassai - From the Beauty category:
Beauty is not the purpose of creation, it is its reward. Its appearance, often late in the day, is no more than an indication that the disrupted equilibrium between man and nature has once again been restored by art. Submitted to this test, what remains of contemporary works of art? (Gyula Halasz, Brassai)
Gyula Halasz, Brassai - From the Exhibitions category:
The wall, safe haven for what is forbidden, gives a voice to all those who would, without it, be condemned to silence. (Gyula Halasz, Brassai)
Gyula Halasz, Brassai - From the Interpretation category:
If you take your inspiration from nature, you don't invent anything, because what you want to do is to interpret something. But still, everything passes through your imagination. What you produce at the end is very different from the reality you started with. (Gyula Halasz, Brassai)
Gyula Halasz, Brassai - From the Light category:
Night does not show things, it suggests them. It disturbes and surprises us with its strangeness. It liberates forces within us which are dominated by our reason during the daytime. (Gyula Halasz, Brassai)
Gyula Halasz, Brassai - From the Painting category:
Photography is the very conscience of painting. It constantly reminds the later of what it must not do. (Gyula Halasz, Brassai)
Gyula Halasz, Brassai - From the Photography category:
To me photography must suggest, not insist or explain. (Gyula Halasz, Brassai)
Gyula Halasz, Brassai - From the Photography category:
I've always felt that the formal structure of a photo, its composition, was just as important as the subject itself... You have to eliminate every superfluous element, you have to guide your own gaze with an iron will. (Gyula Halasz, Brassai)
Gyula Halasz, Brassai - From the Power category:
Only powerfully conceived images have the ability to penetrate the memory, to stay there, in short to become unforgettable. (Gyula Halasz, Brassai)
Gyula Halasz, Brassai - From the Profession category:
To keep from going stale you must forget your professional outlook and rediscover the virginal eye of the amateur. (Gyula Halasz, Brassai)
Gyula Halasz, Brassai - From the Purpose category:
The purpose of art is to raise people to a higher level of awareness than they would otherwise attain on their own. (Gyula Halasz, Brassai)
Gyula Halasz, Brassai - From the Surrealism category:
My images were surreal simply in the sense that my vision brought out the fantastic dimension of reality. My only aim was to express reality, for there is nothing more surreal than reality itself. If reality fails to fill us with wonder, it is because we have fallen into the habit of seeing it as ordinary. (Gyula Halasz, Brassai)
