Eigens für die Stadt Göttingen habe ich ein Porträt vom Nobelpreisträger und Chemiker Manfred Eigen geschaffen. Das Bild hängt im Ratsaal der Stadt Göttingen.. Manfred Eigen erhielt im Jahre 1967 den Nobelpreis für seine Erkenntnisse in Chemie.

Er erhielt von seiner Heimatstadt Göttingen die Ehrenbürgerwürde. Im Rahmen eine Feierlichkeit im Rathaus wurde dabei das Porträt übereicht.

Im Februar 2004 wird das Bild 'Gerhard Casper' in der Library der Stanford University (Palo Alto, San Francisco, Kalifornien) enthüllt.
 

Please, indulge me!

His head and hands make him the experience he is as a speaker. The click-click of my camera not only irritated the students—it also irritated me. We wanted to experience everything undisturbed.
Suddenly, he seems huge; the format of the picture threatens to be too small to fit him in. In his words, in his deeds, he is big. I purposefully chose the rectangular format. Gerhard, broad and expansive in his shoulders. Gerhard, larger than life in front of the Cardinal Red—Stanford, his life’s work. The 130x100 centimeter canvas doubles the size of Gerhard’s head. The unpainted continuation of his body hovers above this world. The rectangular format also signals calm and relaxation, similar to the sprawling American landscape or the representation of a figure lying down.
He is generous in his discourse, his disbursement of knowledge, his gesticulations. I want to be generous in my choice of colors and still be able to focus on what’s most important. Red and Blue and, of course, White—his White.
A wind is blowing. The wind of freedom—freedom of speech—the freedom to paint.
The wind of his lecture aims at, and reaches, everyone and it refreshes the community of listeners—and the wind carries the message further. Wind is gesticulation—is movement. Gerhard has achieved a lot of movement at Stanford.
My wind transports Red in White, Red in Blue and White and in secondary colors. My wind is his gesticulation. We are painting this picture together—together!—
I have never known anybody like Gerhard who so unselfishly, and on the highest level, engages himself in order to improve the lives of others. I am thinking about the many architectures at Stanford. I have represented these with colors in my painting, for example the Violet-Blue and White.
In the end, I had to pack Gerhard into a frame made of olive wood—more than 100-year-old olive wood, as old as Stanford. Made in Italy. There are young olive trees growing in an architecturally beautiful courtyard here at Stanford—my wish is that they will grow for at least a century. By using the olive wood frame, I wanted to create an association with Palo Alto. The frame encloses the colors and makes the message of my painting clear.
I hope the message of my painting has reached you.

With each of my portrait commissions, my horizon has widened further, and I am grateful that I was allowed to paint—and get to know—Gerhard.

My portrait is in reverence to him—Gerhard Casper.
