They are specific places I have discovered here and there when I am on the road to take photos. I go especially to take photos.

All photographs are far more important than any painting.

When I look back on the townscapes now, they do seem to me to recall certain images of the destruction of Dresden during the war.

I don't believe in the reality of painting, so I use different styles like clothes: it's a way to disguise myself.

I believe that he knew more what he was doing. I might be absolutely wrong about this, but that was my impression.

I believe I am looking for rightness. My work has so much to do with reality that I wanted to have a corresponding rightness. That excludes painting in imitation. In nature everything is always right: the structure is right, the proportions are good, the colours fit the forms. If you imitate that in painting, it becomes false.

To talk about paintings is not only difficult but perhaps pointless too. You can only express in words what words are capable of expressing-- what language can communicate. Painting has nothing to do with that.
