Translated from German to English by Jeffrey Collins (ME).
When I was in 1992 for the first time the studio in Soho Rudolf De Crignis visited was a very special experience for me.
It was my third studio visit that day, the two previous artists were Americans and talking about their work as pastors of their church on the west coast. In the studio of Rudolf De Crignis silence came over me, the artist Sat silent at his desk, there was no word spoken.
Was silence, only silence, or silence and contemplation. The atmosphere gave me a very wonderful feeling. I was quiet and undisturbed look at some beautiful blue paintings.
I was no longer in new york but in Sénanque, in the chapel of the Cistercian monastery. This special feeling is I always stayed. If I were a painting by Rudolf De Crignis stand and try to penetrate into that beautiful blue plane, I feel that sensation still.
In later years, I spend many warm and intense contact was fortunate to get to know the artist. It was a very quiet but strong personality, honesty and integrity, highly critical of his own work, open to other artists.
Although his artistic path to be followed very well knew, he was anxious and uncertain about the things he was doing. Paul Cezanne was never far away.
With the death of Rudolf I lost a very close friend and adviser, but we all have lost a great artist.
Rudolf, the beautiful moments I will never forget and I will continue your work I personal effects lovingly cherish.
Goodbye
