Essen

"In the first Essen prints one is initially disconcerted by the ever-changing perspective in which the objects are presented. (...) Mansen succeeded in evoking a whole host of forms by using the same plate over and over again with new colourings and by layered printing." (Annie Bardon, Matthias Mansen's Inventories, in: Matthias Mansen, catalogue Reutlingen 1988, p.16).
