“The picture is now free from the more or less well controlled release of personal
feelings into space and time, “according to afore-known rules” (J. Wissmann),
free of passion and trying to make the act of creation readable in retrospect.
It is not idealization, or heroic tension, or the transfiguration of existence and the
interpretation of creation in the immaterial or the heavily gesture-laden material,
which becomes perceptible on the canvas, but rather, a free sense of vision is able to unfold and become manifest.”
