For decades Pfeuffer «[...] has only one subject, the landscape. Even when he paints or draws people, they become landscapes for him. One reason for this may be that he is never concerned with a likeness, but rather with a presence that for him expresses itself most perfectly in the landscape. He exposes the inner organs as with a scalpel, only to present the pulsating life, the natural order, as omnipresent.» from: Hanne Weskott, Helmut Pfeuffer, in Kunstforum International vol. 92, December 1987 - January 1988.
