About this person

As Jespers described his process in 1959:I had discovered with the Cubists that a painting must be built. Expressionism then taught me that light and air around an object were not enough. The object itself has essential values: shape, length, width, depth. Thus expression ... had to be given to the naturalistic form of the object.
