    Neo Rauch is an exemplary painter of this strange Post-Modern history. He gives us landscape and staffage with their own epic mythologies and metaphysical unrealities and which yet we can recognize. His heroes are men who work and even fight with resignation and without purpose, and yet have their own strange dignity. Neo Rauch in his color, which is nostalgically industrial in its tonality, in his drawings and compositional ambition, which hovers between dream and reality, is located very specifically in the true history of his own surroundings, and thus achieves its own universality. N. Rosenthal, Neo Rauch, Kunstpreis LeipzigerVolkszeitung, 1997, p. 15
