When I See A New Artist I

When, At The End Of The 1960s, I Became Interested In The Nazi Era, It Was A Taboo Subject In Germany. No One Spoke About It Anymore, No More In My House Than Anywhere Else.

Buying Art Is Not Understanding Art.

As An Artist You Have To Find Something That Deeply Interests You. It's Not Enough To Make Art That Is About Art, To Look At Matisse And Picasso And Say, How Can I Paint Like Them? You Have To Be Obsessed By Something That Can't Come Out In Any Other Way, Then The Other Things - The Skill And Technique - Will Follow.

Life Is An Illusion. I Am Held Together In The Nothingness By Art.

But I Believe Above All That I Wanted To Build The Palace Of My Memory, Because My Memory Is My Only Homeland.
