“Highly personal portrait by Jan Cox tellingly communicating psychological states of his subject more than their actual appearance. Color is vivid, geared to evoking inner moods and feelings. Composition is startlingly direct (...)” (Excerpt from New York Herald Tribune 1965)
“When compared to the earlier portrait of Hanns Swarzensky (1959), the latter appears more familiar and calm, less of an 'apparition' than Rathbone, while in the portrait of his wife, Brigitte Swarzensky-Horney (1963), we find a similar softness in the transparency of the colors, yet she also radiates a very dignified calm.” (Excerpt from Jan Cox catalogue)
