When were they done?
They look old unless thats just his style.
I think he's a pretty famous artist around the world, but i'd like to see how many more people here have heard of him; well he lived from 1898-1972; and it's particularly his post WWII work that made him famous. Those are the interwoven patterns and false perspective ones; his pre-war art is more traditional allthough very interesting linework too. It's all graphic art, so that's maybe why it's less familiar to some then like famous painters are.

There's a permanent museum with his art in The Hague; i believe it's quite new, like since two years or so... you can find info (in english as well as in dutch) on the museum's website:
If anybody decides to go let me know still wanna go there myself.
The admission is ?7,50 though; where do they come up with high prices for museums like that. [fire]
At 7.50 euro its cheaper than the Van Gogh and Rijksmuseum(sp) , both 9 euro,but yeah they should be free in an ideal world.
Thanks for the info..I'll call in next visit. [tup]
what can you do in such museums?? can you eat an ice-cream cone? drink a soda? use a video camera? talk to a friend on a cellphone? what, what? [crazy]
