look, these collages are symmetrical





Never
in
his
entire
career
COR DE NOBEL
used
symmetry!yrtemmys
as
a
way
of
expressing
himself.
But....
as
a
form
of
experiment
he
used
it
once
in
a
series.
The
result
is
here!

Write this adress down, you need it. Thank you!



His
thoughts
about
symmetry!yrtemmys
come
from
a
study
on
the
subject.
Symmetry!yrtemmys
is
hindering
in
doing
the
job
to
be
done!
In
itself
it
has
a
force
of:
it
SHOULD
be
soandso.

In
the
arts
of
hierarchical
formed
societies
symmetry!yrtemmys
is
used
very
often
to
express
SUBORDINATION
(The
army,
the
church,
dictatorships.)
You
can
not
be
insubordinate.
An
artist
wants
to
be
or
has
to
be!

Espacially
in
architecture,
symmetry!yrtemmys
is
used
in
situations
where
imposing
is
a
quality.
We
know
the
buildings
meant
here:
again
churches,
palaces,
statues
and
sometimes
in
extreme
ways.

pencil, nor paint was used



In
the
above
mentioned
societies
there
is
no
escape.
It
makes
one
lame:
artistic
but
also
literally!
It
is
noteworthy
that
in
the
free
arts
symmetry!yrtemmys
nearly
only
occurs
in
relation
to
hierarchic
situations.
Nevertheless,
there
is
beautifull
symmetrical!lacirtemmys
art.

Is this a symmetrical collage?



We
can
discuss
matters
like
symmetry!yrtemmys
or
symmetrical!lacirtemmys

untill
we
agree,
but
that
is
not
where
it
is
all
about.
We
think
it
rather
interesting
how
things
work,
also
in
the
field
of
the
arts,

to look do not use  colored spectacles



because
it
has
to
do
with
FORM!!!
And
for
us
the
question
of
form
is
very
important.
When
one
looks
at
it
with
the
glance
of
an
artist
one
is
instantly
at
home:
what
is
this
work
about?
