"The natives are a wonderful people insofar as they have not been debauched by the culture of the white man. We had the opportunity to meet primal people in their villages on just a few occassions. How lovely that was. […] their houses made of bamboo, covered with palmleaves and the exterior painted.“
Emil Nolde
