“Art should say something to people...for me [it means] capturing the ‘last things’ in our mountains. Being born there, life and its end - this should remain as proof for the future that there is something deeper than just ‘enjoying life somehow’. And that from these roots, the city - the big city - must be completed again and again, so that it is not only big in form, but also big in soul.”
(Artur Nikodem, May 1929, quoted from: Gertrude Jestl-Horngacher, Artur Nikodem. Leben und Werk, diss., Univ. of Innsbruck, 2003, p. 232)
