I suppose illustration tends to live in the streets, rather than in the hermetically sealed atmosphere of the museum, and consequently it has come to be taken less seriously.

Shouldn't a great museum foster serious seeing before all else?

Museums, I think, are becoming more and more aware of how to turn themselves into a must-see spectacle.

You have to see a building to comprehend it. Photographs cannot convey the experience, nor film.

Museums are like the quiet car of the world. It's a place you can come to escape, where there's authenticity, there's uniqueness, there's calm, there's physicality.

These small shows were decidedly a success. The exhibitions were not too large to be seen easily. It was not an effort, as larger collections of pictures usually are.

You cannot always make such big exhibitions, because they consume too much time and energy.

Every museum is full of nice things. That's the opposite of before. It was important things or serious things. Now we have interesting things.

The subject matter is so much more important than the photographer.

I am sure that no traveler seeing things through author spectacles can see them as they are.
