About the Creation of the Pictures
In the transition from intellectual waking consciousness to Imagination the soul may use [the power of] phantasy. The forms of phantasy will gradually develop into true Imaginations. . . . To simply copy Imaginations as one might paint a scene from nature would not be artistic. . . . On the one side, one has the results of interacting with colour . . . . On the other side, one does not let an Imagination become visible, but rather apprehends it in its nascent state and guides the formative forces into the handling of the colours. In between the picture comes into being. (excerpt) Gerhard Reisch
