They continue to amaze and suprise me. At the same time I seem to known them from when I was a child - when they began. I am in awe of the high point he can reach in a photograph such as Family, Times Square, at the center of New York in the center of our century. Perhaps no other American image stands comparison with Picasso's 'Family of Saltimbanques,' on their imagine European plane in 1905. However little known or historically acknowledged, Faurer statnds and lives as a master of his medium."
