This artwork is framed, and can't be shipped - in case of a purchase, it can be picked up in Belgium (West Flanders) // Composition by Constant Nieuwenhuys is an etching that demonstrates the artist's exploration of abstracted human forms and dynamic line work. This piece features two figures rendered in delicate, almost sketch-like lines, which convey a sense of movement and spontaneity. The figures seem engaged in an ambiguous interaction, with one figure seated and the other standing, possibly engaged in reading or conversation. The minimalistic, abstract style is typical of Nieuwenhuys' approach, emphasizing expression over detail. This etching, part of a limited edition of 190, invites viewers to interpret the figures' relationship and context, reflecting the artist’s interest in capturing human essence through abstraction and suggesting layers of social or emotional narrative.

What is Situationism?
Situationism is a psychological theory that gained prominence in 1968, following the publication of a monograph by Walter Mischel that sparked the Person-situation debate. This theory argues that behavior is primarily influenced by external situational factors rather than internal traits or motivations, challenging the ideas of trait theorists like Raymond B. Cattell and Hans Eysenck, who emphasized stable personality traits. It is important not to confuse this with the Situationist International movement, an artistic and political movement founded by Asger Jorn, which focused on the critique of modern consumer society and the influence of environments on human behavior.
