... My fighting spirit has disappeared after I gave up trying to win the market over. My wares cost me a lot more than they can be worth to the buyer. Now I would rather perish than go out into the street; I would rather perish than let Mr so-and-so hang one of my paintings, even a small one, on a free nail on the wall above his desk, so that it fits in with the surrounding kitsch. I hate the market, the piecework for the buyer. I’d rather strangle myself with my own hands than have a bad painting bought cheaply. I may value others very highly because they do not buy juvenile works. I respect those who do not overestimate my work. I mock anyone who talks about its originality, genius, temperament or even power. Youth work in the arts is a sport. It should be: watch and practice. Every jump can bring death. So plausible! Only a lame man can claim that the youth possess motor power. I don’t want to break a leg or bend over and jump to the delight of a stupid old man who notes the jump, and goes to write that he has seen a young old man. Our shortcomings are our assets.” from a letter by A. Faistauer to Arthur Roessler, in: Arthur Roessler, Der Maler Anton Faistauer.
