"Man is in the focus of my art. To me the human body has the same importance as landscapes or still lifes have for other artists. Sure, it is also a certain experimental ground where new things can be tried out. Painting a nude or a loving couple is a lot of fun to me. And what's best about it is when I manage to express my relation with my environment in both a narrow and wider sense through the 'How'." (Willi Sitte 1974, transl. of quote from ex. cat. Willi Sitte. Epochenbilder, Nationalgalerie Berlin, 26 February - 4 May, 1986, p. 139). [KP].
