“Always, when the words art and artistic are applied to my photographic work, I am disagreeably affected. This is due, surely, to the bad use and abuse made of those terms. I consider myself a photographer, nothing more. If my photographs differ from that which is usually done in this field, it is precisely because I try to produce not art but honest photographs, without distortions or manipulations.”
![“I cannot, as you [Edward Weston] once proposed to me - solve the problem of life by losing myself in the problem of art ... in my case, life is always struggling to predominate and art naturally suffers.” quote by Tina Modotti](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/1ae/tina-modotti-45202_art_i-cannot-as-you-edward-weston-once-propo_3080055.jpg)
