«My love belongs to paper, as it offers itself in its many forms: from precious handmade paper to cheap wrapping paper, from the printed paper of the newspaper to ‹Macaroni Latino› on old handmade paper. I treat it disrespectfully, crumple it, tear it, only to put it back together again. There are injuries, scars - that's good, that's part of it. I imprint it on the further process. In this way, or in a similar way, the paper becomes compliant with me and helps me to move on.» Emil Schumacher, cited in: Galerie Boisserée (Ed.), Emil Schumacher, Radierungen und Arbeiten auf Papier, Cologne 2009, w/o p.
