Jacob Bendien1890–1933Peut-on la contempler ?
Amsterdam, Pays-Bas
Le propriétaire est connu. Si elle est exposée aujourd’hui, le musée ne le dit pas, et l’on ne nous a pas appris à deviner.
Around 1913, Jacob Bendien and several other Dutchmen developed their own form of entirely abstract art. They presented it in Amsterdam as ‘absolute art’, derived from the ‘absolute music’ – music not explicitly about anything – that was making its appearance at the time. In his work Bendien strove for what he called ‘Meditism’, an expression of emotions that was controlled by the mind.
