Ask anything

  • Maria Jesus asked

    Qué quería decir Penck con esos símbolos?

  • Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen answered

    Dear Maria, I am very sorry but I cannot speak or write in Spanish. Penck uses very general signs and symbols for us humans and the culture we are living in. Maybe you can find an essay or a book about Penck in which his sign-language is analyzed. Still, you own personal interpretation might be very valid too. In art there hardly are any fixed meanings and the meaning of art changes over time and generations. Kind regards, Els
