“You can recognize the Læsø paintings by the logs that come drifting across the night sky ... It’s funny, because I have my sketchbooks full of tree stumps - they are everywhere in the spinney around my studio on Læsø, so I can just step outside and draw them…” Quote by Kirkeby, p. 170. Lars Morell: "Per Kirkeby. Conversations with Lars Morell”
