Jan J. SchoonhovenNiederlande, 1914–1994Darf man es sehen?
Amsterdam, Niederlande
Der Eigentümer ist bekannt. Ob es heute ausgestellt ist, sagt das Museum nicht, und Raten haben wir nicht gelernt.
Like his 17th-century predecessor and fellow Delft artist Johannes Vermeer, Jan Schoonhoven was fascinated by light. His brilliant white reliefs are composed of a few basic forms, whose irregular surfaces make light visible. Here Schoonhoven pasted pieces of cardboard on top of each other to create a design of light and dark lines, which resembles light playing through a cobweb.
