"Es war einmal ein Maler, der sich schon in seinen Jugendjahren von dem akademischen Leben und der Stadt aufs Land zurückzog. Er kaufte sich einen kleinen Bauernhof, ging hinter dem Pflug, arbeitete mit dem Spaten und verwandelte ein ödes Stück Heideland in einen traumhaften Fruchtgarten. Seine künstlerische Tätigkeit wurzelte ganz in dieser eigenen Schöpfung: ein kleinbürgerlicher Romantiker, der das Gefühl hatte, daß ihn dieser kleine Besitz unabhängig und frei mache. Die Erlebnisse seiner Jugend waren: der Garten, der Frühling, die Liebe zu einer Frau. Alle seine Empfindungen kleidete er, da es schöne und ruhige Empfindungen waren, in die schönen und ruhigen Formen vergangener Zeiten (Die Kunst der Minnesänger war ihm nah).
