"art of our lives. I don't like romantic tourist landscapes, I prefer modern idylls, if you ask me. Many pictorial ideas come to me from the clash, at times brutal, between nature and technology and the human response to it. This tension seems to be essential for our time; it reveals the complexity of our present."
Wolfgang Matheuer, quoted from: Stefanie Michels (ed.), Wolfgang Mattheuer. Bilder als Botschaft, catalogue raisonné of paintings 1950-2003, 2017, p. 183
