• Painting the emotions of the soul: Kluge is a master of psychologically charged figuration.
• Kluge's series of works “Contact between Two Populations” symbolizes the existential theme of separation and connection through the contrast between black and white and the two intertwining circular shapes.
• In 2012, the Wilhelm Hack Museum in Ludwigshafen presented the major retrospective “Gustav Kluge. Egocinema”.
