I wanted to suggest evaporatation and transparency with this pencil drawing.

An experiment in flow and movement.

A continuation of the roundism series. I particularly like this one because I like the pose and the fluidity that speaks. It’s a kind of zig-zag pattern that appeals to me. It’s with a private collector from the U.S.

Variation 11 show a return to straight lines and planes. I wanted to put less stress on the body and more on the planes as a whole – in- and outside the body and communicating.

Variation nr 10 is an oddball. The flickering and the light bulbs in the joints almost create a kind of stellar constellation.

Variation nr 9 shows a further development and I felt more and more confident to show more. This one I found it to be a success and a prestudy for The Madonna of The Hague later that year.

This one already takes on the shape of today’s roundism. By blending / fading graphite I was able to get a very soft look.

A rather gloomy drawing but I liked doing it. It’s art deco rather than cubism I think.

I am not quite satisfied with this variation. It look static. And the tiny strokes contouring her body look daft to me (in retrospective).

Variation nr 5 in which I experimented with ball structures – put on the main joints in the human body.

Variation nr 4 being a slight deviation from the roundism of nr 3.

Variation nr 3 being the roundism version. It’s in the U.S. now with a private collector.

Variation 2 (cubistic feel to it) following the realist one.

Part of the roundism series. I wanted to create a kind of psychedelic effect around the buttocks of the woman.
