Don\u2019t become timid, don\u2019t let yourself be upset by big talk, doubt, smile, let yourself be surprised, even by yourself, experience our world with keen senses.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The terrestrial zoo is large and has room for many species; the higher of them are our good fortune and our comfort. I would like to call them poets, who see our world in a new way, in colours, words, shades and equations, as we have not yet known it, who reveal unparalleled wealth.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I believe in the greats of our time, in the creative, artistic contributors to the building of a new world, of which I can confidently presume that it will be of no lesser a nature than the one mourned by so many. I also believe in the fervent provocateurs of our turgid hearts, in the holy fools who tell our fortunes, in the dalliers who stroll about or lie in the sun, in the dreamers, in the fatuous, in the spiritual rebels (not in the ideologues), in those as free as possible and in those yet to come, who we do not yet know, but who are already quietly asking other questions. I should name names. That would be a long list and would amount to a very good total \u2013 for the last fifty years.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>So: Mies van der Rohe, Picasso, Klee, Gropius, Mondrian, Einstein, Charlie Chaplin, James Joyce. Arnold Sch\u00f6neberg, Mir\u00f3, Wols, Louis Armstrong, Bert Brecht, Saint John Perse, Paul Celan, Saul Steinberg, Luther Burbank, Apollinaire, Bonnard, Max Ernst, Brancusi, Giacometti, Gonzales, Le Corbusier, Frank Lloyd Wright, Aim\u00e9 C\u00e9saire, Kafka, Dior, Charles Lindberg, Grock, Tristan Tzara, Albert Schweizer, Henri Rousseau, Wilhelm Uhde, Hemingway, James Ensor, Kandinsky, Elisabeth Bergner, Alvar Alto,\u00a0H\u00e9lena Rubinstein, Stravinsky, Henry Miller, Henry Ford, Braque, Felix Krull, Kontiki, Haile Selassie, \u201cElla\u201d, Garbo, Chagall.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I know, I know. The list is contestable and is also not complete. I could continue it any way I wish. No, not any way. Politicians, ecclesiastical princes and generals are absent, for example. Because I don\u2019t believe in them. It is difficult to believe in something at a time in which many old terms no longer possess any validity, which we no longer comprehend with naked reason, the sense and secret order of which we can hardly still experience, in face of all the threat and terror, in face of the towering, filthy clouds. I am also familiar with this great lost doubt, these black days and nights, this anxious gaze of the rabbit in the face of the functioning chaos, the twitching greed, a friendly message, which hopes to turn everything to the good with one blow. I am familiar with this numbness that hangs over us like a mute bell. And nonetheless, only we ourselves can make it sound; not with the avid thrashing about of the bell ringer, but instead with quiet overtones. But here we must learn to listen, irrespective of whether we are transmitters or receivers. To do so, we must enter into silence and be capable of remaining alone. Each of us can only believe for ourselves. External creeds are not prescriptions, and we shouldn\u2019t fool ourselves. I believe in the exception that confirms the rule and in the errors in the system. I don\u2019t believe in any direction, and not in any art movement. However, I do know that the art of our time must look different than that of 1890. This new art, so often wished dead, has already been alive for a half a century now. Not even the rococo lasted that long. And how diverse, how rich, how nuanced and full of imagination (see the list of names, the incomplete list). I believe in the creative power in art, but not only in the number one dress uniform, but instead also in those who form the humus, who impregnate the air with art bacilli and ensure a generally spiritual climate.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Our atmosphere, with its implicit faith in progress and obedience to technology, must be enriched more with these other bacilli originating from the districts of art, dreams, imagination, the creative, from the realm of the muse and leisure. Give art more of an opportunity to heal our times, to create beauty, to organise celebrations for our inner gaze. I believe that helps, that delights and makes us more human than we are now.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Heinz Tr\u00f6kes, \u201cDaran glaube ich\u201d [What I believe in], Hamburg 1957[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_tabs el_class=&#8221;no-align&#8221;][vc_tab title=&#8221;1913 \u2013 1939&#8243; tab_id=&#8221;1528454712-1-77&#8243;][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;11142&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; advanced=&#8221;yes&#8221; media_items=&#8221;media|original,caption&#8221; media_text=&#8221;under&#8221; media_overlay_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; media_text_anim=&#8221;no&#8221; media_image_anim=&#8221;no&#8221; media_v_position=&#8221;top&#8221; media_padding=&#8221;1&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;3\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text]<strong>1913<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Born 15 August in Hamborn\/Rhine (today part of Duisburg).<\/p>\n<p><strong>1930<\/strong> \u2013 Trip to the Netherlands and Luxembourg.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1932-1933<\/strong> \u2013 Attendance of the arts school in Krefeld.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1932<\/strong> \u2013 Cycling tour through Switzerland, Italy, France and Luxembourg.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1933<\/strong> \u2013 Abitur (German qualification for university entrance)<\/p>\n<p><strong>1933-36<\/strong> \u2013 Pupil of Johannes Itten in Krefeld.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1934\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 Three-month bicycle tour through Italy.
