„Josef Floch baut den Raum aus den Farben…. Die Kontraste und Beziehungen der Töne: in ihnen liegt die Essenz der Farben des Malers Floch. Aus den Farben wieder wachsen unmerklich die Grundformen, welche die Sphäre ausfüllen und zur großen Form der figuralen Komposition zusammenklingen.“
“Josef Floch constructs space using colour… Floch’s use of colour is characterised by the harmony and contrast of different tones. This combination of colours then gives shape to the basic forms that fill the sphere and endow the composition with its final form.”
Josef Kalmar, in: Das Zelt. Eine jüdische illustrierte Monatsschrift für Kunst, Literatur und Wissenschaft, Vienna 1925, pp. 339–341.
