"Even though my economic existence had been destroyed by inflation and the breech of trust with my art dealer and my marriage got divorced, I still have my work. [..] I dwelled in my studio all on my own. A Swiss physician, Dr. Minnich, stopped by to get to know me and my work. He urged me to close down everything in Berlin and to follow him to Montreux on Lake Geneva as his guest for a couple of years. I had found a new companion after the disappointments of the post-war years. Full of hope I embarked on a journey into a new life."
