Ohne Losung

"The painting is an autonomous field; it contains more action than we can absorb in one moment; in response to the need to escape the demands of society, it expands into a super abundance of beauty and sweet things. Overwhelmed, we tend to react by blaming the painting for those things that we ourselves rely on to sustain us against the unwonted intensity of the stimulus: forms that repeat themselves, have been seen before, and are expected somehow to ease absorption and provide meaning, or at least certainty. But even reduced to these few repeated constants, the picture still refuses to fall into place; it does not resolve itself in terms of any specific meaning but remains a riddle, a sensory overload." (R. Ohrt, 'Blindman's Buff Again', in: 'Daniel Richter', Berlin 1997, p.26.)
