It is not art in the professionalized sense about which I care, but that which is created sacredly, as a result of a deep inner experience, with all of oneself, and that becomes 'art' in time.

More quotes by Alfred Stieglitz
Photography as a fad is well-nigh on its last legs, thanks principally to the bicycle craze.
Alfred Stieglitz
Beautiful dreams - if the world were more beautiful they would come true - But the world is relentless & cruel - people are - they must be, I suppose, or they could not live.
Alfred Stieglitz
The arts equally have distinct departments, and unless photography has its own possibilities of expression, separate from those of the other arts, it is merely a process, not an art.
Alfred Stieglitz
The fight for photography became my life.
Alfred Stieglitz
All art, like all love, is rooted in heartache.
Alfred Stieglitz
Photography my passion, the search for truth, my obsession.
Alfred Stieglitz
Technically perfect, pictorially rotten. (Stieglitz's standard comment on photographs he rejected for publication in The American Amateur Photographer.)
Alfred Stieglitz
My photographs are a picture of the chaos in the world, and of my relationship to that chaos. My prints show the world’s constant upsetting of man’s equilibrium, and his eternal battle to reestablish it.
Alfred Stieglitz
Everything is relative except relatives, and they are absolute.
Alfred Stieglitz
My aim is increasingly to make my photographs look so much like photographs [rather than paintings, etchings, etc.] that unless one has eyes and sees, they won't be seen - and still everyone will never forget having once looked at them.
Alfred Stieglitz
For that is the power of the camera: seize the familiar and give it new meanings, a special significance by the mark of a personality.
Alfred Stieglitz
Photography is my passion.
Alfred Stieglitz
I am not a painter, nor an artist. Therefore I can see straight, and that may be my undoing.
Alfred Stieglitz
In photography there is a reality so subtle that it becomes more real than reality.
Alfred Stieglitz
There is nothing so wrong as accepting a thing merely because men who have done things say it should be so.
Alfred Stieglitz
Snow. White, white, white, soft and clean, and maddening shapes, with the whole world in them.
Alfred Stieglitz
A woman artist could be one of those intuitive geniuses [who] have kept their childlike spirit and have added to it breadth of vision and experience.
Alfred Stieglitz
Wherever there is light, one can photograph.
Alfred Stieglitz
As a matter of fact, nearly all the greatest work is being, and has always been done, by those who are following photography for the love of it, and not merely for financial reasons. As the name implies, an amateur is one who works for love.
Alfred Stieglitz
Photographers must learn not to be ashamed to have their photographs look like photographs.
Alfred Stieglitz
