KURT KOCHERSCHEIDT (1943-1992)

 "If I should try to give a definition of the artist at all, then it would most likely be a person whose profession, as it were, involves the constant reconsidering of one's own situation, continuously analyzing, continuously 'reworking' it. In the face of the threat all around, one is continually tempted to give in, to think it's all senseless. But you have to keep going, keep doing your thing consistently - as a counterforce - even if it all were over tomorrow.
