"The writer Émile Zola was also passionate about photography, which he took up around 1888 and practised intensively from 1895-1900. Unlike Degas, he produced thousands of photographs, and even went as fas as to say, in an interview with the English review The King
, 'In my opinion, you cannot say that you have really seen anything fully if you have not taken a photograph of it.' He photographed European cities, often with an extremely audacious composition."Françoise Heilbrun: Orsay - Photography
