Programma voor het jubileumconcert van Johannes Messchaert, onder begeleiding van Julius Röntgen 1902

This is the program cover for Johannes Messchaert’s anniversary concert, decorated with abstracted ornaments in a light color. Spirals dominate the design, swirling patterns that have echoed through art since antiquity. Look closely, and you might recognize the ubiquitous spiral in ancient Greek pottery, Celtic knotwork, and even indigenous Australian art. The spiral is a symbol of life's cyclical rhythm, of growth and decay, constantly reinventing itself. But there’s more than meets the eye. In psychoanalytic terms, these aren’t just decorative elements. They’re visual echoes of primal experiences, embedded deeply within our collective memory. The subconscious recognizes the perpetual looping of existence itself. It is a testament to the enduring human need to find order and beauty in the chaos of existence. The spiral motif reflects our deeply ingrained understanding of time's non-linear, cyclical progression.
