MAURO BERGONZOLI

DPABLO PICASSO 1881 – 1973
„Die Malerei langweilt oder ermüdet mich nie. Ich spüre selbst nach drei oder
vier Stunden vor der Leinwand nicht den geringsten Anflug von Müdigkeit.
Deswegen werden Maler so alt. Wenn ich in mein Atelier gehe, bleibt mein
Körper vor der Tür, so wie Muslime ihre Schuhe vor der Tür lassen, wenn sie
eine Moschee betreten.“
“Painting never bores or tires me. Even after 3 or 4 hours in front of a canvas,
I don’t feel even the slightest fatigue. That’s why painters live so long.
While I work I leave my body at the door, in the way Muslims take off their
shoes before entering the mosque.” 1

HVINCENT VAN GOGH 1853 – 1890
„Heute habe ich wieder von sieben Uhr morgens bis sechs Uhr abends
gearbeitet, ohne mich vom Fleck zu rühren, außer um in der Nähe etwas zu
essen. Der Gedanke an Erschöpfung kommt mir gar nicht, noch heute Abend
mache ich mich an ein anderes Bild, und ich werde es vollenden.“
“Today again from seven o’clock in the morning till six in the evening I worked
without budging except to grab a bite just two steps away. That is why the
work is going so quickly. I have no thought of fatigue, I could even do another
painting this evening, and I would bring it off.” 1

WHENRI MATISSE 1869 – 1954
„Warum ich mich nie langweile? Seit fünfzig Jahren arbeite ich ununterbrochen.
Zuerst von neun Uhr morgens bis mittags, dann esse ich. Danach lege ich
mich kurz hin und male von zwei Uhr nachmittags bis abends weiter. Schwer zu
glauben, aber wahr.“
“Why have I never been bored? For more than fifty years I have never ceased to
work.. First from nine in the morning until lunchtime, then I eat. After that I rest
for a bit and continue to paint from two in the afternoon untl the evening. It’s
hard to believe, but true.” 1

IMAURO BERGONZOLI 1965
„Ich wache mit dem Sonnenlicht auf und lasse die Hunde raus. Nach einem Espresso
gehe ich in in mein Atelier. Wenn keine Besucher angesagt sind arbeite ich oft ohne
Mittagspause direkt in den Abend hinein, mit Musik je nach meiner Stimmung. Sonst
reise ich, spiele Gitarre, kümmere mich um den Garten und liebe meine Frau.“
“I wake up with the morning sunlight and let the dogs out. After an Espresso I go
in my Atelier. If no visitors are announced I often skip lunch and work straight until
evening, with music depending on my mood. Otherwise I travel, play guitar, take
care of my garden and make love to my wife.” 1
