"The garden, with its excitingly beautiful vegetation, took its picturesque tribute, which I also made my permanent natural task and which finally dominated everything in my mind in its overwhelming beauty. Here the whole range of coloured emotions spread, which stimulated a colour orchestra with constantly changing, stimulating impulses, which aroused feelings with irresistible power, which continuously developed into new colour combinations in an entirely organic way. I did not deny the omnipotence of nature, I was incited with fervor to become a panegyric of the beauty of creation and to this day I am dedicated to this magical request with all my commitment."
Theodor Gerkens
