Painting by Jaap Hillenius (courtesy of the Hillenius Family)
“Painted desert” (1976) - Jaap Hillenius(1934-1999) 'He drove to the desert, stopped in the middle of nowhere, got out of his car and walked off into the night carrying only an easel, palette, brushes and a canvas, He kept moving until the only thing left to see was desert. He closed his eyes. The movement his eyes made when he opened them again, the trajectory they followed, feeling a way through space, through light, this movement is what is captured in the painting. Hillenius painted light - the motion of light, the memory of light.'
