The use of the term art medium is, to say the least, misleading, for it is the artist that creates a work of art not the medium. It is the artist in photography that gives form to content by a distillation of ideas, thought, experience, insight and understanding.

  • -- Edward Steichen 爱德华·史泰钦

艺术媒介一词的使用,至少可以说是误导人的,因为创造艺术作品的是艺术家而不是媒介。摄影艺术家通过对思想、思想、经验、洞见和理解的升华,赋予内容以形式。
