Concept of the Artist

As an artist, Dijkstra has a patience and sympathy for the people in her pictures, an ability to look carefully at them and to represent what she finds; she shows us their complexities without sentiment and without minimizing the uncertainty, even the traumas they may face. And what she finds are not moral lessons […] Instead, what we see when we take the time to look at her pictures are the imperfections and the particular grace she finds in ordinary people, especially in the young. http://www.maxhetzler.com/artists/rineke-dijkstra
