"I spent my youth in Dalmatia. The dry and burnt landscape, with nothing but rocks, without vegetation. I never knew that all of this had stayed in me. It was not before I went to Spain that I saw a similar landscape and that I felt the memories coming back. Suddenly it happened, I realized that it was my Dalmatian landscape, that it was my home." (Rolf Schmücking with Zoran Music, January 1976 and May 1986, transl. of quote after RolfSchmücking, Zoran Music. Das graphische Werk 1947-1981, Basel 1986, no page).
