" "the art-critic has provided the products of my lab with a (new) label: 'abracadabra'.. ..[but] one can not speak about abracadabra-ism, and that is its advantage on all –isms: it doesn't know time and limits and especially not the 'periods of time' [but] only seasons.. ..all -isms are dead, blown away, sprayed in the air, gone (here imagery does not fit, imagery is always wrong) - only for the 'abracadabra' is the future wall, the coming wall in the next house - how much the 'peinture' of other fabrics is curving and folding itself, polished or blown-up, it's all for nothing.. .We are not addressing those offspring but only the artists in this world..

Additional quotes by Hendrik Nicolaas Werkman
version in original Dutch (origineel citaat van Hendrik Werkman, in het Nederlands):Het is een heel werk geweest [zijn 20 prenten van de 'Chassidische Legende']; ingespannen en zonder ophouden is er aan gewerkt [1941-1943]. Maar het was boeiend en ontspannend tevens. Nu het af is kan ik er op terugzien als een stuk van mijn leven als 't ware. Ik acht mij gelukkig dat ik dit heb kunnen volbrengen, al zullen er ook wel aanmerkingen op gemaakt worden. Daaraan is niet te ontkomen, ook al doe je je beste best.
I have applied for a pass and I am going to travel through Western Europe for 5 days. [I] start in Cologne and will probably end in Paris. Who cares. In Cologne there is a large exhibition of German painters [especially Die Brücke-artists]. Jan W. [= Jan Wiegers, who knew Kirchner very well since 1920] has been there and animated so much that I'm going there for a while.. ..it seems that Jan wants to come with me. He was so enthusiastic that I suspect to be able to note him as my traveling companion.

Last week we made a bike ride along cornfields with the harvest ready to be brought in. Here and there it was already brought in. Heavily loaded cars rolled back home, and it sounds so nice when the car comes after you.. ..and what a fruit tree loaded with ripening fruit. It is all full of promises and full of mild softness. As you say, it is the late-summer melancholy.. ..moreover one can weep for this dying everywhere on the fields, without any mercy.
