"Gantner has a way of capturing the intricacies and subtleties of nature. His use of colour, even his lack of it as in his black and white drawings, spurs the imagination so that we create colour and moods from our own experiences. The intensity of his skies, the whiteness of his snow, the brilliance of his autumn colours, the range of his greens and pinks, the hillsides, ponds, mountains, villages, mystical structures and winding paths invite the viewer to be a part of the scene portrayed - to reach within and share in the soft, warm and peaceful memories of their mind and soul.

"Completing 'The Plot' in the last month of his life, Will Eisner, the great master of American comics, tackled what he regarded as his most powerful work.
