About this work

You see two tall, jagged shapes side by side on a big sheet of paper. They look like broken teeth or torn metal, scratched in black ink. Heyboer made this in 1961, right after he left a mental hospital. The title—*The Blinding of Reality*—hints that the shapes might be about seeing, or not seeing. The lines are raw, like he scratched them fast, without planning. If you like how this feels, look up etching—it’s how artists scratch metal to make prints like this.
