Pagenkopf's landscape watercolors were featured in contemporary reviews for the lightness of their style. The watercolor April , published in color print in the Mecklenburgische Monatshefte [de] in 1927, is described as follows: As a tender landscape atmosphere from the first days of April ... the whole lightness of the original wafts towards us.[5]
