Gertrude Kasebier quotes
-
“To accomplish artistic work, of any individual worth, nature must be seen through the medium of the artist's intellectual emotions.”
-- Gertrude Kasebier -

“I am now a mother and a grandmother, and I do not recall that I have ever ignored the claims of the nomadic button and the ceaseless call for sympathy, and the greatest demand on time and patience. My children and their children have been my closest thought, but from the first days of dawning individuality, I have longed unceasingly to make pictures of people... to make likenesses that are biographies, to bring out in each photograph the essential temperament that is called, soul, humanity.”
-- Gertrude Kasebier -

“There is more in art, with an apology to that much abused word, as applied to photography, than startling display lines, on mounts and signs announcing artist Photographer, Artistic Photography Studio, etc., and the lower the standard the more frantic the claim.”
-- Gertrude Kasebier
