Sebastiao Salgado Art Quotations

When I was starting out, when I put aside my career as an economist. I looked at every book, went to every show, did my first stories, developed my first films. A fabulous time.

I can be an artist a posteriori, not a priori. If my pictures tell the story, our story, human story, then in a hundred years, then they can be considered an art reference, but now they are not made as art. I'm a journalist. My life's on the road, my studio is the planet.

For me, art is such a wide concept - anything can be art.

I'm not an artist. An artist makes an object. Me, it's not an object, I work in history, I'm a storyteller.
