Eugene Delacroix
Image
Do all the work you can that is the whole philosophy of the good way of life.
Eugene Delacroix
Image
Let a man of genius make use [of photography] as it should be used, and he will raise himself to a height that we do not know.

A taste for simplicity cannot last for long.
Eugene Delacroix
Image
Cold exactitude is not art ingenious artifice, when it pleases or when it expresses, is art itself.
Eugene Delacroix
Image
