"The photographic lens can caress the cold smoothness of white lavatories; pursue the drowsy lassitude of aquariums; analyze the most subtle articulations of electrical appliances with all the unreal precision of its own magic. In painting, on the contrary, if one wishes to paint a jellyfish, it is still absolutely necessary for him to depict a guitar or a harlequin playing the clarinet."
Salvador Dali – “La fotographia, pura creacio de l’esperit” (photography, pure creation of the spirit!). l’almic de les arts September 30, 1927
