Additional quotes by Willem Maris
'Weiss' always said it so well: 'When you go outside, it's like getting a punch against your chest.. hey ..damned, that's beautiful!!' And that's why we made so many beautiful things in our studio in the Juffrouw Idastraat in The Hague city. The studio was not very special. It was noisy. But going outside suddenly, that moved you so strongly.. (translation from original Dutch, Fons Heijnsbroek, 2018)
