"Schmidt-Rottluff used the emotional power of the wet-in-wet technique to add permanent magic to the flowers' natural proccess of flowering and whithering. Schmidt-Rottluff expressed his joy in blossomig cacti [..] in pictures characterized by a high degree of concentration and virility."
Christine Reem, quote from: Schmidt-Rottluff, Aquarelle, 2011, p. 42
