Things That Made People Laugh - And Me Along

Way back at the academy I once uttered that I didn't want to paint paintings for people's living rooms. Some time later there was the academy feast and my professor, Jochen Zellmann, introduced me to the principal, art historian Manfred Schneckenburger,  by saying: "Here is somebody who does not want to paint for living-rooms." He just smiled and said: "Oh, you should take a look at my living room!"

Yet, the truth is that I still do not want to paint anything that is just ornamental, though I wonder, how to achieve this impossiblity.
