I first saw Frederick Sommer's large format black and white pictures of chicken entrails over 30 years ago. I long ago forgot Sommer's name but not those images. Now I know his name again. He did a lot of other interesting images.

Frederick Sommer

Art is not arbitrary. A fine painting is not there by accident; it is not arrived at by chance. We are sensitive to tonalities. The smallest modification of tonality affects structure. Some things have to be rather large, but elegance is the presentation of things in their minimum dimensions
