Theo Champion

“Champion’s art had many friends during his lifetime, and his pictures always found their owner quickly. The old people appreciated his solid craftsmanship, which he had acquired at the Düsseldorf Art Academy with Gebhardt and later at the Weimar Art School with Theodor Hagen; the young felt the peculiar magic that emanates from the small boards, and the boldness with which tiny colored signals – the blue of a jacket, the red of a flag – are set into the otherwise quiet surfaces. ” Anna Klapheck, Rheinische Post 15.03. 1961 1961
