Some time ago, we went to Asia and took a camera along, and I began to do what I'd done even years ago doing people. I couldn't get interested in it. And I did hundreds of photographs of details of the monuments as sculpture.

Select Ben Shahn Quotations:
I didn't care where my works were published.
Ben Shahn Whatever I get involved in, I'm totally involved, you see. Ben Shahn I still love to look at photographs but I couldn't do it myself anymore. Ben Shahn I feel, having the choices I had, I felt I had more control over my own medium than I did over photography. Ben Shahn So, I was offered this job to come down there but first it was suggested that I take a trip around the country in the areas in which we worked to see what it's all about, and I tell you that was a revelation to me. Ben Shahn It's a little bit like my inability to read a guide book before I go anywhere. I can read it after I've been there and by the same logic I refuse to accept any technical stunts from anybody. I refused to learn more than I knew and I confess I missed a great deal. Ben Shahn I was so impressed with the work we were doing and I was very involved ideologically in photography - that I arranged an exhibition at the College Art Association. The first exhibition I picked the photographs and so on and we had an exhibition in New York. Ben Shahn |
