I do not like to be a prophet. I like better to
paint than to predict what the next painters will
do. Though I have a feeling that consideration of
order is very much in the air. |

|
|
+ I think that the very earliest influence was a
horror of having to work in a bank or an office,
a desire for a free and creative life. |

+ ...I paint German artists whom I admire. I paint
their pictures, their work as painters, and their
portraits too. But oddly enough, each of these portraits
ends up as a picture of a woman with blonde hair.

which doesn't live between sleepy fairy-tale moods
and poetry but rather concedes a direct entrance
to the fearful, commonplace, splendid and the average
grotesque banality in life. |

senses and emotions of the artist's world. |

I believe art has to take responsibility but it
should not give up being art. |

I am rather like a travelling salesman. I deal in
ideas. I do much more for people than just paint
them pictures. |
|
|
| +
My paintings are allegories not portraits. |
|
|
| +
The most important thing for me is the direct observation
of nature in its light-filled existence. |
|
|
| +
The photographs don't arouse me. All I can think
about is the hard work it took to make them. |
|
|
| +
I can't always reach the image in my mind.. almost
never, in fact.. so that the abstract image I create
is not quite there, but it gets to the point where
I can leave it. |
