Inscriptions
Recto:
u.l. to u.r.: I believe that the art of our time \ must embody new content, \ as well as new form and new \ technique. With these elements \ present, one can express, through \ images without logical or factual \ meaning, all the agony, joy and \ hope of our age.
c.l. to c.r.: For this portfolio I have chosen \ prints made in each of the three periods \ into which my work of the last ten years \ seems to divide the earliest group is \ "Destruction", the next, "Rebirth, and the \ most recent, "Construction".
l.l. to l.r.: The terror and gloom of the \ first few prints, the release and \ joy expressed by the middle group, \ the hope and fear present-day Science \ felt in the msot recent prints, are \ to me the essence of our time \
