“Maxim de Winter: Tell me, is Mrs. Van Hopper a friend of yours or just a relation?
Mrs. de Winter: No, she’s my employer. I’m what’s known as a paid companion.

“The invention of photography provided a radically new picture-making process—a process based not on synthesis but on selection. The difference was a basic one. Paintings were made—constructed from a storehouse of traditional schemes and skills and attitudes—but photographs, as the man on the street put, were taken.”
—Jean Szarkowski (b. 1925)
