This evening the Anthroposophical Society invited me to give a lecture about modern art, on 13 March. They start to wake up here [in the Netherlands].. .Please, tell me something, what I should emphasize, what you find most important. I shall also read something from 'The Spiritual in Art' by [[w:Kandinsky.. .But we still have other views on the whole, isn't it. I don't always agree with Kandinsky, and often more with your views. So please write a little much.. .You know, for me it is always easier to paint my principles. (translation from German, Fons Heijnsbroek, 2018)

Additional quotes by Jacoba van Heemskerck

I got the idea to paint people, in the way I see them. From one face I take to my own idea some very characteristic features of it and then I make of the whole a picture in colors and lines, in the way how I meet that person. The whole thing becomes not at all a portrait in the usual sense.. .I have tried to make types, but will built in more and more personal qualities and all that kind of things.. .Everything will be figured out fully abstract of course, it is just a personal feeling and no system at all. (translation from German, Fons Heijnsbroek, 2018)
