Conversation with Heinrich Klotz 1987: You came closest to Koberling.

Zimmer: Because we both paint landscapes. But in terms of painting, I’m very different again. Koberling condenses, I stay more in the surface.

Klotz: You say surface. Even when you paint a mountain massif?

Zimmer: Yes, even then. That’s not actually drawing, the colour surface that I organise. It’s the shrillness of the colour that matters to me, not the drawing. I strive far more for a solidification, a solidification of an abstract form that is still reminiscent of nature.
