"Marcus Jansen is certainly - and I don't say this lightly - one of the most important American artists of his Generation.”
- Prof Dr. Manfred Schneckenburger, Art Critc/ Art Historian and Documenta Kassel, Curator 1977 and 1987 as well as former director of the Kunsthalle Koln and Professor and reactor at the Kunstakademie Muenster.
"Marcus is the innovator of Modern Expressionism. What initiated it for him, was the graffiti on the sides of subway trains when he traveled from the Bronx to Manhattan to sell his work on the street. This is somewhat reminiscent of Jackson Pollock learning to kneel with the Hopi Indians and throw sand to make sand pictures. That innovation may have been the beginning of Abstract Expressionism."
- Jerome A. Donson, Former Director of "The American Vanguard Exhibitions in Europe," (Action Paintings), 1961, MOMA, Museum of Modern Art, NY)
