At the bottom left this work by Jan Schoonhoven is numbered in pencil .
With black lines on a neutral background, Schoonhoven builds a tense graphic grid that is reminiscent of his reliefs in white cardboard and papier-mâché. His work exudes a sense of order and serenity, free from personal expression – entirely in line with the ideals of the Dutch Nul movement of which he was a co-founder.
Professionally beautifully framed, under a custom made (acid free) passe-partout in an exclusive white wooden frame, handmade in the Netherlands, provided with PLEXIGLAS® Optical HC (scratch and UV resistant). This plexiglass has a very nice deep view and also much less weight than glass.
Size of work: 50 x 33 cm
Frame size: 74 x 54 cm.
Jan Schoonhoven (1914–1994) is considered one of the most important representatives of Dutch post-war art. He was co-founder of the Nul group, related to the international ZERO movement. His oeuvre consists of structured reliefs, drawings and graphic work, often composed of rhythmic patterns, lines or planes in white or black. Despite his international fame, Schoonhoven continued to work as a civil servant in Delft his entire life. His works are in leading collections, including the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, the Guggenheim Museum in New York and the Centre Pompidou in Paris.
A valuable and timeless collector's item within modern and minimalist art.
