«Even though René Acht [...] noted in February 1996: ‹The cube-cross folds have ‹imprisoned› me. The whole edifice of thought is becoming more and more like my Golgatha!›, one should understand this last work phase of the cube-cross-form-foldings and the œuvre that has now become a whole as a spiritual impulse of hope, as the search for one's own centre, as a constant renewal of one's own innermost being and work, as the unfolding of a longing, as the completion of a life's path, as the conclusion: ‹Everything is in flux and yet has its hold in the circle›». from: Wilhelm-Hack-Museum, Ludwigshafen, Kunstmuseum Singen and Aargauer Kunsthaus, Aarau (Eds.), René Acht, Lyrisch-Konkret, Cologne 2021, p. 225.
