About this artwork.

This wall sculpture was installed on the east facade of the school building at the Muntinglaan 3 in 1965. It is made of glazed ceramics in blue, green, red and ochre. 
 
 George van der Wagt created a haut-relief (this is a relief in which the images emerge from the plane) in depths varying from 10 to 45 centimetres. The sculpture is located high on the facade (about 7 metres above the ground) and has an area of about 10 square metres. 
 
 George van der Wagt (1921-2007) was born in Rotterdam and was a pupil at the academy of visual arts there from 1943 to 1945. One of his teachers there was John Raedecker. Later, Van der Wagt assisted him with the realisation of the National Monument on Dam Square in Amsterdam. 
 
 Since 1951 Van der Wagt has worked both in the service of others and for himself.
