Bassie & Mondriaan #[nn]

Kamagurka's *Bassie & Mondriaan* from De Harmonie is a delightfully offbeat Dutch publication that brings together two unlikely worlds — the beloved clown Bassie, rendered here in Kamagurka's loose, expressive style with his signature yellow hair and red nose, set against a vibrant Mondrian-inspired grid of primary-colored squares. The cover alone, entirely the work of Kamagurka from pencils to inks, signals something wonderfully absurd: a clown clutching what appears to be a small bouquet, framed like a portrait within that bold geometric backdrop. Published in 2010, this is the kind of book that cheerfully blurs the line between fine art homage and comic irreverence.
