"The beautiful, spontaneous Israels, that is the painter when he is in his own studio; that is the talker who sometimes goes outside for a moment, as when he was walking beside me in the woods, before dinner: 'You cannot know at all what will comes out of you because all your knowledge is running otherwise.. (translation from the original Dutch: Fons Heijnsbroek)"
