It was there, during his first stay, that he met the educator Gottfried Hausmann. Mataré writes about this in his diary from the summer of 1942: “I have now spent many pleasant hours with Dr. Hausmann, who works in the office at the Kiedrich military hospital. We sit out here for a long time in the glorious moonlight, and for a brief moment, the horrors of the times are forgotten.” (Mataré, Sonja/Schilling, Sabine Maja: Ewald Mataré. Diaries 1915–1965, Cologne 1997, p. 265). It was during this time that the first geometric cows were created. The artist gave this work to Gottfried Hausmann as a gift.
