- The painter of abstract conviction constantly strives for more clarity and purity of line—color—pattern. … Any shape, line or color when opposed to or shown in conjunction with another creates a movement or sensation which sets up a responsive action in the observer. (en)
- Although the geometry of circle and square furnishes the basis for most of his forms, each canvas is arranged to give a sense of elemental forces at work, the dramatic clash of sea and rock or the crackle of an electric storm. Adept at creating compositions which are both charged with movement and harmoniously balanced, Pfeiffer is able through the contrast of sharp opaque shapes with areas of nuance and transparency, to infuse an ordinarily static mode of painting with liveliness and a certain flashy vigor.
