Minor White:
"Photographers, when you get accosted by painters who, in their innocence revive that tiresome old argument that Photography is not an art (which is true), reply that painting is not an art. This last is also true. Painting and Photography, sculpture and photography, pottery and photography are only media vehicles, pushmoblies, laundry chutes that get an intangible something from one unfindable part of one man to an unlocatable part of another person. And the ineffable something is not art because to name it implies that art is an object, or a thing, or a biscuit, or a building that can be moved about and grasped with the hands.
