Jan Schoonhoven (1914-1994)

'For me, everything revolves around the white plane.. disattached from any painterly association; disattached from any intervention that is foreign to the value of the plane: the white colour is not a polar landscape, no associative matter, it is not a pretty matter, not a sensation, not a symbol or anything else: a white plane is a white plane.' (Jan Schoonhoven, https://www.dekunsten.net/dk-citatenabstractekunst-schoonhoven.html)
