Doorkijk in gele muur 1977

Nono Reinhold made this piece, Doorkijk in gele muur, with graphic arts techniques that have created this evocative window, where the buttery yellow of the wall meets the cool indigo and glimpses of light outside. The texture here is subtle, like the grain of the paper is part of the image itself. It makes me think about the physicality of the printmaking process. You can almost feel the pressure of the press, the way the ink has been coaxed onto the page. Look at the lower section of the image where the wall sits. There is the suggestion of the shadow. This is not just about replicating a scene; it's about capturing a mood, a moment of quiet contemplation. Reinhold reminds me of other artists who use architectural forms to create an introspective space, like, say, Giorgio de Chirico, but with a softer touch. It’s not just about what you see, but how it makes you feel.
