However, I gradually start to appreciate the Japanese print art [in wood prints] as a whole less than a small year ago. We can discuss it later, sometimes. For the time being I can say that the external elegance and skills are often not supported by a deep inner empathy with the depicted things. (translation from original Dutch: Fons Heijnsbroek)

Additional quotes by Jan Mankes

(original Dutch: citaat van Jan Mankes, in het Nederlands:) ..een kraai, een vlug, tam beest, met onbevlekte vederpracht, loopt hier bij me rond, waar ik hoop nog veel van te kunnen profiteeren, daar ik bijzonder van kraaien houd. De omstreken zijn heel anders dan in Delft, meer bosch, soms zelfs hei, vaak begroeid met die mooie, witte berkenboompjes. Tot buiten werken is het echter nog niet gekomen, als ik aan mijn kraai denk loop ik weer hard naar huis, maar t kan verkeeren, wie weet.
