Photographs Aren't Accounts Of Scrutiny. The Shutter

Before He Did All Those Lovely Line Drawings, Matisse Would Make Really Detailed Charcoal Drawings And Tear Them Up. He Wouldn't Leave Them About... I Understand What He Was Doing: Discovering What's There... To Make The Line Meaningful, To Find A Linear Solution.

I Think We Seem To Remember Things In Still Pictures. I Never Gave Up On Painting. When They Said Painting Was Dead, I Just Thought, Well, That's All About Photography, And Photography's Not That Interesting, And It's Changing Anyway.

Anything Simple Always Interests Me.
