"His pictures are painted hymns to nature and all its miracles. He paints the sea in its raging anger and its chaste peacefulness. He adds a soul to the sea. Once one of these masterpieces have caught your eye you will forget everything around you for a while and entirely sink into the marvelous splendor of these deserted coasts and their rolling waves.“
(quote from an art critic in 'Altonaer Nachrichten' 1912, in: Dr. Marco Müller, Albert Wenk (1863-1934), Petersberg 2015, p. 5)
