‘He (Brosch) was praised to the heavens as a wunderkind for his naturalistic formalism in the provincial milieu of his home city; the authority of the then completely mediocre Academy served to strengthen and revive this rush to judgment... Brosch expected great success but nothing came of it. He was a stranger in his own lifetime, escaping into the fleeting illusions of drugs and ultimately into the eternal release of death... Klemens Brosch appeared to me to be a fragmentary genius, a product of his environment and simultaneously a sacrifice to it.’ Herbert Lange, ‘Ein Künstler von ‘fragmentarischer Genialität’, Öberösterr.
