专家说明

'Pleasures and Terrors of Levitation is one of the great titles in photography. These behave like Rorschach ink blots, the calligraphy of the unconscious. Siskind, a sort of amazing Abstract Expressionist, printed these with varying degrees of contrast at different times in his career, and is said to have preferred this darker presentation, like Japanese brush strokes.
Whenever I have had a total and immediately positive response to a photograph, it is unequivocally a picture for me. The few times I have talked myself into a purchase I have bought works that now seem less meaningful or strong. In a collection of more than a thousand images, there are refreshingly few of those now disappointing choices.' – W.M. Hunt
