Rhythm and order were integral to the life and art of Jan J. Schoonhoven (1914 - 1994), who worked for the Dutch postal service throughout his life and never traveled beyond his native city of Delft. Each day after work, Schoonhoven had a daily drawing regimen in which he systematically explored variations on set themes, such as the pattern of a reed. Six drawings show the progression of Schoonhoven's work from highly structured compositions to ones dominated by fluid, gestural lines.
