John Szarkowski by Eamonn McCabe
“I tell my students you can’t wait until you have a great idea, because it it not a great idea until you have gotten into it. Start on something your interested in a little bit, or you think you might be interested in. And you explore it, if its the right subject for you it becomes more interesting as you work.
The more you work the more interesting it becomes. But, you can’t solve artistic problems in your head and then execute them. In real art you never know what the answer is. You have to work toward it and finally when you can’t go any farther, you think that must be the answer.”
