About Karl Gnass:
"There are few draftsmen today who have the ability and knowledge to draw the the human figure with such directness and strength."
- GLENN VILPPU, Master Draftsman
"The drawings of Karl Gnass are an example of the art of acting as it applies to drawing."
- HARRY CARMEAN, Figurative Painter
"He has drawn for so long and with such ferocity and has mastered the discipline of drawing to such an extent that his grasp of the pictorial language allows him to balance on the brink of chaos."
- JAN SAETHER, Fine Artist/Professor Emeritus
