Quote : “Da mir für farbige Holzschnitte beim Druck die Anwendung von Ölfarbem nicht gefiel, Aquarellfarben aber nicht genügende Kraft entwickelten, bildete ich mir nach langen Versuchen ein eigenes Druckverfahren mit tempera-artigen Farben heraus, das es möglisch macht, jedes Blatt in allen Farben gleich hintereinander fertig zu drucken, so liegt der Erfolg fest in meiner Hand”.
