…the shirt is often hung on a painting as the highest decoration and trophy, in order to enrich its colour texture. There are paintings that do not need a shirt, others demand it. Both the paintings and the shirt can exist alone. If I find a shirt unsatisfactory, then it is painted over with harsh gestures.
Hermann Nitsch, das malhemd 1991 - from Hermann Nitsch, Leben und Arbeit, aufgezeichnet von Danielle Spera, 2nd edition, 2005
