"When I go out into nature, even if it's to a place that I know very well, I'm not able to sit down and paint right away. I always have to let the surroundings sink in quietly for a long time and saturate myself with the mood emanating from atmospheric condition around me. Then, having absorbed the keynote, I bring it to the canvas as a dominant color chord."

“The landscape has the advantage that the meticulous execution that is so important in still life doesn't hinder us, especially in large pictures that look half-finished. Color is the only thing I can execute in the landscape.”

Karl Hagemeister, about his paintings, quoted from: Hendrikje Warmt, Karl Hagemeister, Berlin 2016, pp. 29, 110.
