Blacet's view of photography.

Blacet's views on photography are as sensational as his works: "I never thought photography was an art". He expressed this attitude in the article "Potential Images" in 1932, which aroused unanimous criticism from people in the photography field. He said: "In art, photography is an intruder and an inconsistent symbol that disturbs the harmony of other arts." Photography is too precise, too dependent on reality, and lacks imagination, creativity and spiritual qualities. These shortcomings are actually some of its characteristics-it is "non-artistic" or even "anti-artistic". This trait is actually the place where photography should be cultivated and should not be attributed to art. "What has photography brought us? This is a fresh air and a strong sense of reality. It gives things almost a physical expression, a symbol of undefined truth and truth. Photography has completely updated the relationship between man and the universe. " Before the invention of photography, nothing was not conveyed to us through endless art, everything changed; In the hands of some creative artists, the reality is getting better or worse, or second-rate artists can use useless and trivial beautiful appearance to package it. We will never see the scenery, a face, a small town or a street view, all of which are emotional communication without intermediary. We are too used to watching truth be colored by other people's temperament. The world was accidentally captured by the camera and leaked to us. Blacet's view of photography is the best footnote of his own works, and the people, things and things he photographs rarely involve emotion. He believes that the objectivity of photography is the most devout worship of real-world images. It believes that photography makes human images enter another strict order, which makes the creator give up his personal identity-self.
