As Karl Ruhrberg remarks aptly `The hollow windows are inhabited by horror, they are ciphers of the emptiness and silence, which also hangs over the streets and squares, causes anxiety and  speechlessness like the sucking silence of the Manichino-guarded cities of a de Chirico or Carra.’ (K. Ruhrberg in: Exh.-cat., Werner Heldt, Berlin, 1968, p. 8).
