E. perfected a self-developed graphical production method, which he has maintained since then: just as long as productive, it allowed (and veiled) the simultaneous application of all techniques from collage to free drawing" (Brusberg-Völker). "Lewis Carroll and Max Ernst correspond to each other in the way they lead the viewer behind the mirror. Not with magic and automatism, but with a lucid knowledge of the labyrinth" (Werner Spies im Nachwort). – Verlagsfrisch.
