Synthetische Constructie F25 (Synthetic Construction F25)
‘But, one might ask oneself, will […] geometric art be capable of becoming a language of forms of a human community? For those who continue to see it as abstract, it will not. But it will for those who see in it an investigation of being, of the structure of nature, of which man is after all part and with which he is one. To them it is the image of the individual that acknowledges and constantly redefines its relationship with generality. The image no longer constricted by the limits of the frame, but extending over all design, from the largest building to the smallest utensil. And in this language of forms, it is not mathematics that will be recognized, but emotion’ – Joost Baljeu
