"I catch sight of the piece of nature or the phenomenon that gives me an emotional experience. [..] that's why I render the experience in exactly the same form in the picture as I saw it occur in nature. This is my picture, my concept."
Karl Hagemeister to Fritz Stahl, quoted from: Hendrikje Warmt, Karl Hagemeister. In Reflexion der Stille, Berlin 2016, p. 163.
