• The decisive impulse in Heinz Mack's art is the examination of light and movement.
• The multitude of vertical and horizontal structural elements creates movement inherent in the image.
• "Because I kept having the piano notes in front of my nose - almost only Mozart, Beethoven and above all Bach - at some point I saw that they were structures. All of a sudden I saw these graphic diagrams, which serve as musical notation for the musician, as an abstract drawing." (Mack)
