And an assessment of his work:

“Father Gregory Krug dedicated his entire life to painting icons. He chose iconography in stead of the adventure of modern art for the icon represented his own ascetic labour, prayer and contemplation. This art ment for him the most courageous act of a human being: the revelation of God in his whole glory”.
