Specialist note

‘I arrived at the relief through the desire for materiality. Wherever I recognise, besides the need for formlessness, also the need for giving form (thus two opposing tendencies), I believe… I can offer a solution by adding the third dimension – and making reliefs.’ — J. SCHOONHOVEN
