专家说明

Vividly remembering how often Rodin had spoken of going to nature for inspiration, I felt it might be possible to go to nature to find a discipline. I recalled the words Rodin had written for the opening page of the number of Camera Work devoted to my own work.... Rodin had said, 'Quand on commence à comprendre la nature, les progrès ne cessent plus.' (When one begins to understand nature, progress goes on unceasingly.) -- Edward Steichen, c. 1921
