"I avoid the term gray for the pictures, as people always tend to think they are not in color. For me, gray is very much a color. And I don't see the pictures as works of melancholy, but of euphoria, even if I look at history with melancholy."
André Butzer, in a talk with Michael Stoeber, Kunstforum vol. 218
