"Here I have often thought that I only paint and draw because I want to cling to the good things and try to make them my own." - Herrfurth in a note about his relationship with Mani from the year 2000

"The works shown here depict spontaneous "snapshots", mostly taken between late afternoon and sunset, when Karl-Heinz had his dinner in one of the taverns in the village.

They reveal his deep connection to the village in Mani, his place of longing, to the Mediterranean, the landscape, and also to the objects in the holiday home. They are small, personal, evocative observations that I

—just like the artist — I associate them in my memory with leisure, relaxation, and holidays, and therefore wanted to show them here, even if Karl-Heinz would have considered them more as private notes.” —Alexander Herrfurth
