Expressionism


That it was a haystack the catalogue informed me. I could

not recognize it. This non-recognition was painful to me. I

considered that the painter had no right to paint indistinctly. I

dully felt that the object of the painting was missing. And I noticed

with surprise and confusion that the picture not only gripped me,

but impressed itself ineradicably on my memory. Painting took on

a fairy-tale power and splendour.
