Susan SontagSur la photographie (on photography)

Hans Theys’ selection for his storefront.

“The most remarkable book on all that photography can be, developed by a brilliant woman who thinks and continues to think as she writes. Vertiginous. The sentence in this book that struck me the most was that all artists who renew art look naive when they create. But afterwards it is their contemporaries who look naive (for not having seen the possibilities of their time).

I talk about Susan Sontag in a new book on the work of Max Pinckers, to be published this autumn.” Hans Theys
