„Lui, il ne me dérange pas.“ Picasso über Edward Quinn, 1951.
“It is my opinion that this absorbing book (James Joyce's Dublin) by Edward Quinn really captures the atmosphere, humour and essence of Joyce's Dublin. The pictures are fascinating and will certainly aid readers in getting a clearer insight and a fuller understanding of James Joyce's work.” Samuel Beckett in James Joyce’s Dublin, London 1974.
“Edward Quinn brought artistry to celebrity photos.” People Magazine, USA 1997.
“In so far as he composes his shots in the viewfinder and edits them in the printing process he is himself an artist, but he is never ‘arty’. He never loses sight of the fact that his job is to tell us about Picasso and not about himself. That he has been able to do this better than any other photoographer is largely due to the fact that he won Picasso’s confidence from the start and with it the privilege of photographing him with almost complete freedom...” TATLER - Robert Wraight, 5.5.65.
“The layman who reads this book will gain a greater insight into the creation of art than he ever believed he could attain. In photographs of superb character, etched in severe black and white or overflowing with marvellous colour, we see Picasso in a multiplieity of poses - but always using his genius to the fullest.”..COSMOPOLITAN - Feb. 1965.
“The greatest Spaniard of our time, Pablo Picasso, is revealed in great intimacy and clarity in “Picasso at Work”, a remarkable photographic record by Edward Quinn...” LOS ANGELES TIMES - Dec. 1964.
“Picasso always welcomed the tall, slender irishman because for one, he never got in his way, and for two, he concentrated his shots and never took too many pictures... The result is a stunning book printed in Switzerland “Picasso at Work.” NEW YORK HERALD TRlBUNE – Nov. 1965.
“The bar of the Grosvenor Hotel, near Westland Row Station, one of the many illustrations from “James Joyce’s Dublin”... The book matches excellent photographs of the city and its people, in both colour and black and white, by Edward Quinn, with appropriate passages from Joyce’s writings.” THE IRISH TIMES – Oct. 1974
“The fiction and the reality; this photograph from ‘James Joyce’s Dublin’ by Edward Quinn reflects a phrase from ‘Dubliners’ - ‘a harpist stood in the roadway, playing to a little ring of listeners’. The book contains 125 such delightfully printed photographs.” THE SUNDAY TIMES - November 1974.
