"If you love antiquity, the landscape with the olive trees and the ever changing silver foliage, with the cypress tress, the mountains, the purple bays, you will find all of them in my pictures and won't be able to evade their magic.“
Max Peiffer Watenphul, 1966, quoted from: Grace Watenphul Pasqualucci, Alessandra Pasqualucci (editors), Max Peiffer Watenphul. catalog raisonné, vol. I., Cologne 1989, p. 75.
