When I first saw Ellsworth Kelly’s plant drawings, I was very surprised. I only knew his big colourful paintings and they weren’t that interesting for me as a draughtsman. But the simplicity, elegance and clearness of these black and white drawings filled me immediately with enthusiasm. Many years later, when I first used plants as a motif on a dam in Japan or on my cleaning cloth drawings, I remembered this fascination with pleasure.
