“McBride’s pictures speak of lived experiences, of longings and fears, of subjective reactions and things personally witnessed. It was precisely because McBride confined himself to an inside view of the German reality that he succeeded in sketching an authoritative portrait of a whole generation, in capturing their ideas and ideals, but also their hidden anxieties in compelling and convincing pictures.” —Klaus Honnef
