Circa 1983

A unique album of 12 original sketches & texts by Constant and 13 photo's of the painting The Trial by Victor E. Nieuwenhuys bound together by Boekbinderij van de Woestijne in Middelburg. In his texts Constant uses quotes from Baudelaire.

The Trial was painted between March 1st and September 1st 1978, oil on linnen, 185 x 275 cm.

A small printed booklet with poetry by Gerrit Kouwenaar and drawings by Constant. They created it in 1949 and it was supposed to be a little joke. This is also one of the lines in the booklet: 'Everyone considers themself to be a joke. A joke is allowed' (Elk voelt zich een grapje, een grapje dat mag) The words and drawings are an expression of the playfullness of their creators where sometimes the words came first and the drawings followed as a reaction and sometimes the other way around.
