« Avec ses signes, ses symboles, ses métaphores et même ses allégories, [Penck] a utilisé une gamme d'instruments esthétiques qui avaient été négligés ou éliminés dans l'art moderne. Mais en même temps, il a utilisé la simplification radicale et la linéarité pour former un style entièrement nouveau qui se distingue nettement du langage des formes basé sur l'antiquité, qui a prévalu tout au long des siècles, de la Renaissance à l'Art nouveau. Il a également intégré le coup de pinceau énergique et informel et les méthodes sérielles de l'Op Art, et a ajouté avec autant de bonheur les figures expressionnistes. Peut-être pouvons-nous voir dans l'art d'A.R. Penck le début du post-modernisme ». - Johannes Schmidt
