"In Entering the Path of the Heavenly Bodies, Drewes explores the interrelationships of form and color through the overlapping of a variety of crescent and rectangular shapes. By making these shapes translucent, Drewes spawns a multitude of new geometric forms...The use of the moon shape and floating forms are reminiscent of Kandinsky, and probably account for the painting's celestial title." (G. Snyder, K. Eagles-Smith, Modern American Painting: 1925-1950, exhibition catalogue, New York, 1991, p. 12)
