"I have never written any confessions of mine, since, as you will see, my paintings are confessions of the most sincere kind, the like of which you will rarely find in these times, nor am I at all willing or able to talk about aesthetic and philosophical matters, and anything else would be vain and foolish chatter. Nor am I willing to reveal the depths or shallows of my soul to astonished citizens and contemporaries. He who has eyes to see, let him see!"
Otto Dix to Hans Kinkel, 1948, quoted from: Dix in Düsseldorf, ex. cat. Remmert and Barth, Düsseldorf 2011, p. 120
