Lothar Quinte was an artist. In a conversation with Peter Iden he says: “What I do, that's me.” Even if this statement in the conversation referred to paintings, it also applies without reservation to his “Art in Architecture” works. And if Lothar Quinte goes on: “I want to paint about the sensuality of color. In doing so, I try to reduce a picture to the essentials, i.e. to use as few resources as possible in each individual case. But what I use has to be of the utmost coherence and consistency. ”“ This can also be transferred to the “art in construction” work. The "sensuality of color" is what interests him, in the panel painting as well as in the church window. And the reduction to the essentials is always an individual task in the "art in building" work, which is different for each building and is solved differently by it. If he then comes to a solution that is conclusive and consistent for him, he shows himself to be uncompromising, ie either his clients accept his solution or he would withdraw from the order. But his proposed solutions or drafts were mostly accepted. He won competitions and got orders even where his designs were diametrically opposed to the requirement profile of the competition tender or the original ideas of his clients.
