The sheets give a close-up insight into the artist's working methods. In his search for the perfect composition of colours, Jorn «[…] moved his workspace to the printing house, and next to the machines he amused himself - you can believe him - by trying out all possible colour assemblies, exploring all combinations.» from: Paolo Marionotti, Dipingere con le macchine, cited after van de Loo 221.
Published by Centro Internazionale delle Arti e del Costume, Venice. Printed by Amilcare Pizzi, Milan.
