EIGHT HEADS, woodcut stamped-print, 1922.
This is the first regular division of a plane surface carried out by the artist, when he was a pupil
of the School of Architecture and Decorative Arts in Haarlem. It indicates at what an early stage
he felt drawn to rhythmic repetition. In the original wood-block eight heads were cut, four female
and four male. Space can be filled to infinity with contiguous prints.
