Jan Schoonhoven (1914-1994) - Handsignierter Siebdruck –...

This screenprint from 1987 is a rare and characteristic example of the graphic oeuvre of the Dutch ZERO artist Jan Schoonhoven. The work is signed in pencil at the bottom right and dated, and numbered in pencil at the bottom left. The composition consists of a dense network of finely drawn black lines, distributed across the entire image area in a subtle, rhythmic pattern. From the reduction to line, structure and repetition emerges an extraordinary spatial effect. This calm, almost meditative visual language is typical of Schoonhoven's consistent engagement with order, rhythm, repetition and monochrome form, and makes his work a significant contribution to European minimal and conceptual art.
