"The interruption of painting [..] has been overcome by an impressive series of new pictures with the rediscovered 'Hero' motif from the mid 1960s: without the burden of dawn from the early days, the paraphrases of the 'Heroes' are mainly rendered as contours on an amply painted white background. " They seem to float, and yet their movements obey to powerful gestures and rhythms that are borne across the image field by the footsteps of the dancing painter and by white and black stains. Both the artist's joie de vivre and living will echo in such images, orchestrated with the mastery of the one who has long figured out and tested the language of painting, including his own, and who has reached full mastery in his pictures. " (Siegfried Gohr, Baselitz: Kunst als Akt des Schaffens und Zerstörens, in: Kritisches Lexikon der Gegenwartskunst, p.11)
