R61-5 - Jalouzieënreliëf/Fanlight-shutters 1961

Johannes Jan Schoonhoven, a prominent Dutch artist, created "R61-5 - Jalouzieënreliëf/Fanlight-shutters" in 1961. This minimalist artwork is a prime example of his signature style known as "concrete art." The piece features a grid of horizontal lines, executed in a precise and repetitive fashion, which evoke the feeling of a window shutter. The simplicity of the composition and the monochromatic color scheme of the artwork reflect the artistic principles of "concrete art," which seeks to convey pure aesthetic experience through the manipulation of basic geometric forms. Schoonhoven's works are considered pioneering contributions to the minimalist movement.
