PICASSO – He takes a
special position in the number of inspirations because he surprised me at a late
age. Actually, the name and the work were synonymous with painting and being an
artist.
I grew up with it. His
constant presence made him unimportant in my daily quest.
One day, however, it's been
a while, I stumbled upon a catalog at a flea market. It was one about his late
work. And I was so incredibly surprised about his paintings. They were so
energetic, so directly reduced without Picassopathos and artificial Kitsch.
I was absolutely
fascinated.
Now I saw and understood
that his topic was searching and finding over and over again.
So he intervened very
lively in my thinking and he remains there as a daily conversation partner.
