Lucassen
The principal meaning of art isn’t that it provides proof but that it reveals truths. Nothing is less true than the imagination and the dream.
Lucassen via De Revisor, 1980
These small-scale works by Lucassen (1939, the Netherlands) call attention to topical issues that are significantly larger in scale: the fate and future of refugees from war-torn nations who have been driven from their homelands. These works are typical of Lucassen in their combination of figuration and abstraction and in their use of letters and numbers. Art, according to Lucassen, is his personal system for creating order and harmony in a chaotic world.
