Writing in the February 1996 edition of Artforum, Rosetta Brooks said of his exhibition at Thomas Soloman's Garage: "Part of a generation of artists in the early '80s who appropriated mass media imagery, Zwack reconsiders the impact of the photographic on our way of seeing. He mines the photograph's ability to capture the fugitive, to reveal the unexpected, and to create a reverberative depth, celebrating the slow metamorphic quality of the natural world and our apprehension of it. For him, the image is a cipher of the archetypal, a vessel that has the power to hold echoes of an ancestral voice. Echoing the floating, phenomenal worlds that characterize the Japanese painting tradition, Zwack's work encourages a contemplative, almost trancelike relationship to the phenomenal world"... Zwack died in New York City on May 5, 2017 due to lung cancer. He was 67. (en)
