“Now I am not a supporter of a contract. [Regnault will become the owner of all the new works of Kruyder by paying fixed amounts] But in these circumstances that I have now ended up in - temporarily I hope - it would be very welcome.

“At the moment we are [Kruyder and his wife Jo Bouman] back in L. [Limburg] in Houthem St. Gerlach, already a fortnight. I collected already [sketching] a lot here. We left when it was not yet spring - just to see everything coming out against those beautiful hilly fields. That Country of Bemelen is so beautiful, I have made jottings [sketches]. Before that I made a very important drawing. A young Limburger [inhabitant].. ..especially from that subject I wanted to make a deeper psychological study now. I am not quite ready for that yet, but that is a nice goal of my trip, to look closely into that matter once more. (translation from original Dutch, Fons Heijnsbroek, 2018)”

“It is my intention, never to start with modeling directly [in the painting]. In my view this is the task of the sculptor. I am modeling 'the surfaces'. Not only concerning the volumes, but also concerning the flat hues, in which I try to achieve the most subtle distinctions. I don't care for external effects. It is always the high values of the surfaces which create the painting. I always get an unbelievable rich variety of facets. Not only the colors, which thereby preserve its power, but also the color-hues are clearly distinguished from each other by no other means than the brush-stroke. (translation from original Dutch, Fons Heijnsbroek, 2018)”
