"I really can't draw any more," Bernhard Jager complained. "Everything begins to move on this picture. The ears of a wolf turn into a burning pine forest." Artist Gerhard Hoehme observed: "The paper in front of me turned into a room in which I became lost." Michael Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi watched his precise draftsmanship disintegrate into chaos...
