"The picture, to date stage of bizarre worlds, is overwhelmed, the gassy fiction falls silent. Immersion becomes a metaphor for disintegration, erasure and drowning. The proliferating submarine vegetation is buried, the brush blacks out the pandemonium."
Arnulf Rainer, Kunstverein in Hamburg March 27 to April 25, 1971.
