The selection of paintings are reproduced at different scales emphasizing the gestural component of Penck's work and offering an idea of the large scale of many of his works. 

Details focus on recurrent glyphic motifs in the work of the artist, characteristic of the hybrid aesthetic that he called Standart, a combination of the words 'art' and 'standard'. Penck aimed to develop a series of transcultural signs that were very influenced by his interest in cybernetics and systems theory.
