German-French graphic artist, counts among the pioneers of modern color etching, he received the Federal Cross of Merit in 1969 and the Lovis Corinth Prize in 1982: "I shun chance in my work; he is not my master. I have made rigor my rule. I jot down my fleeting ideas in the form of numerous sketches and, as if for a score, they are worked out more and more." (Quote from: Friedlaender, catalog raisonné of etchings; seen on kettererkunst.de).
