...Cubist, and the abstraction of his motifs goes on apace, though never at the expense of their sensuousness. His seascapes, mostly distilled from the coastal resort of Scheveningen, where a pier stuck out into the flat northern sea from the dunes, are of extraordinary beauty. The movement of waves and light is reduced to the twinkling of black bars and crosses, shifts and erasures, within an oval field of view. In the end, this breaking and reassembly of a motif go so far that only the barest clues to its identity remain--whether it is a tree, a seascape...
