Pagina 32 - Westzeedijk. /t feels like you are at the top of a mountain or at the edge of the sea - the sea in this case is not moving water but waves of passing cars.
Pagina 79 - As Zadkine's monument recalls the panic moment of anxiety and fear, of agony and despair, so Gabo's evokes the moment of liberation, rebirth, creative potency".
