"I had to find a form for the face. I understood that really great art could only be made with a deeply reigious feeling. And I could only achieve that with the human face. I realized that the artist had to express his own inner divinity through form and color. That is why the artwork is a visible divinity and art the longing for God."
A. v. Jawlensky, quote after: Alexej von Jawlensky, Galerie Wittrock, 1986, p. 12.
