“What is striking about Klimsch's work is that many of his sculptures vary a theme in ever-new ways – for example, the standing, lying or sitting nude. Some of these works show completely different types of movement, while others are only distinguished by slight nuances that only become apparent on closer inspection. The sculptures 'Am Strand' [On the Beach] [..] and 'Beschaulichkeit' [Contemplation] [..], which were created around the same time – the former in 1926 and the latter around 1924 – are a good example in this regard. [..] Despite the posture, which at first glance appears contorted and complicated, both sculptures radiate a great calm, appear introverted. [..] The sculptures show how Klimsch dealt with movement and how even the smallest changes in the representation allowed the motif to become interesting to him again.”
