“What counts is putting the intensity that you yourself have experience...” — Rene Burri Quote

“What counts is putting the intensity that you yourself have experienced into the picture. Otherwise it is just a document.”

“For me, Picasso was the ultimate man. He taught me that photography is all about how you approach an image: what you do and what you don't do. He inspired me to go beyond what you think is in front of you.”

“It took me six years to get close to Picasso. I learnt a lot from him, and he was an absolute genius. He almost became my grandfather at the time. It was like he was a magician or something.”
