“Lothar was a poet enthusiast. One for whom texts were the focus of his creativity and artistic work, and also language, especially poetic language, was a base for his cartoons. An artist who didn't talk long, but drew enthusiastically, and had a big heart for language and written images. The images in his cartoons were signatures and accompaniments to the book pages, were endorsements of what was happening in the book. And they continue harmoniously through the book in minimalist form, like the poems themselves. The poems and the pictures cannot be separated, they are unified in a unique composition, they are twofold pictures: in the text and in the cartoons.”
