Summary

This quote suggests that beauty is a fleeting quality, much like wealth that diminishes over time. It implies that, just as someone who is born into wealth might gradually lose it, one's beauty seems to fade with age or circumstances. It highlights the transient nature of beauty, implying that it can be difficult to maintain in a world where appearance is valued, causing individuals to potentially feel a sense of loss as they age or encounter unavoidable changes.

In my prints I try to show that we live in a beautiful and orderly world and not in a chaos without norms, as we sometimes seem to. My subjects are also often playful. I cannot help mocking all our unwavering certainties. It is, for example, great fun deliberately to confuse two and three dimensions, the plane and space, or to poke fun at gravity. Are you sure that a floor cannot also be a ceiling? Are you absolutely certain that you go up when you walk up a staircase? Can you be definite that it is impossible to eat your cake and have it?Variant translation: I can't keep from fooling around with our irrefutable certainties. It is, for example, a pleasure knowingly to mix up two and three dimensionalities, flat and spatial, and to make fun of gravity.
