«Ernst Marow was attached to naturalism, studied nature and had the interest in bringing the primal elements and primal components of the earth before the viewer in all their power and presence. [...] corresponding to the painter's realistic conception of form: his landscape paintings, which - reduced to the immediacy of nature and without metaphor - draw the viewer into them and their habitat, where one looks back and looks out...» Sabine Schulz, from: http://www.ernstmarow.de/Der-Maler-Graphiker.
Marow often changed the titles of his paintings after he had modified them. Some works were repainted over decades according to his current understanding of art.
