Since ancient times, this myth has inspired creative representations. Examples include the “Fleeing of the Argonauts” at the Syracusean treasury in Delphi (around 650 B.C.), the painting “The Departure of the Argonauts” by Dosso Dossi (around 1520) and “Orpheus and Eurydice” by Anselm Feuerbach (1896). What these examples have in common is the interpretation of individual aspects of the myth. In contrast, Jörg Czischke can claim to have interpreted the complex material of the entire myth in a comprehensive and aesthetically unique way in his “Caliban über Setebos”.

It is characteristic of Jörg Czischke that he was able to break innovative new ground with his own unique intellectual capabilities and give the Orpheus myth an entirely new form.

Jörg Czischke was a restless creator. He was an uncompromisingly creative person. He was ruthless in the demands he made on himself and was his own harshest critic. A disciplined artist, he was able to add new nuances to his work in short intervals in order to express his "joy of the well-designed image.” He gave himself the freedom to experience and was able to bring his work to higher levels of maturity as a result.

In the end, Czischke created his own universe with his art – completely self-contained and independent. Long after his productive years, he continues to stimulate people’s imaginations through his work.
