«Taking note of the fact that in Asian cultures, such as in China, yellow is juxtaposed with black as a complementary colour, corresponding to the manifold relationships of the two principles of yin and yang, then it seems almost logical that René Acht moves from yellow paintings to black shapes: the cut-outs made of black cardboard.» from: Hans H. Hofstätter, Städtische Museen Freiburg (Eds.), René Acht, Werkmonographie,
