The former senior curator of the Zimmerli Museum Art Museum of Rutger Jeffrey Wechsler said while discussing this work.
"This tendency toward
implied softness asserts itself in a particularly
intriguing way in Rock Shapes (fig. 6), where
the almost flaccid appearance of some shapes
contradicts the work’s title that nominally
presents the image as depicting stones.
A further instance of subtlety may be perceived in the many canvases that emphasize
Zutrau’s attention to slight details of paint application that add interest to otherwise
apparently very simple compositions.: (LG Zutrau catalogue)
