  • Catalogue Essay

    'One must not have a too pronounced notion of what constitutes beauty in the external and above all, must not worship it. To worship beauty for its own sake is narrow, and one surely cannot derive from it that aesthetic pleasure which comes from finding beauty in the commonest things.' — Imogen Cunningham
