Walter Nobbe
Children in a Playground, 1964
It is more pleasant to apply strokes of paint onto a wood panel than on a canvas, which is always slightly springy. That is what Walter Nobbe did here. The effect – the soft tones, and the tranquil faces of these almost devoutly playing children – is reminiscent of Italian Renaissance art. Only then
...
do you notice that the climbing frames are not the standard Dutch models designed by Aldo van Eyck, but were given lyrical fantasy forms by the painter and his magic brush.
