Tetrahedral planetoid
woodcut printed from two blocks, 1954, 43 x 43 cm

This little plent inhabited by humans has the shape of a regular tetrahedron and is encircled by a spherical atmosphere. Two of the four triangular surfaces, with which this body is faced, are visible. The edges which separate them divide the picture into two. All the vertical lines: the walls, houses, trees and people, point in the direction of the core of the body - its centre of gravity - and all the horizontal surfaces, gardens, roads, stretches or water in pools and canals, are parts of the spherical crust.
