Portraits
"Hence this portrait, too, demonstrates that the artist not only strives in every picture for an expression that does justice to the individual personality, but is also always in search of humanity itself; of the numinous essence wich all individual differences are subsumed; and wich is common to all persons, irrespective of their personal disposition, fateful development and social status. A rapprochement with human beings by artistic means, the intensity of sympathetic observation combined with many years of experience and a complete mastery of artistic skills result in extraordinary paintings, in wich every wrinkle gives expression to a life fully lived and a human dignity, and celebrates the beauty of traces drawn by life."
Text extract of Professeur Docteur Hammer, historienne d'art à Berlin
