In 1933, the rector of the University of Leiden, J. Huizinga, chose as the theme…
Complex form
Went for a walk, looking for circles – and found a more complex form by far: a crab shell so complete and beautiful I could not leave it be. So I took it home and did a bit of photo-assisted drawing – lovely complex form this creature has.
The form has been around for a while – earliest crab fossils date from the Jurassic which is about 200 milion years ago. To compare: homo sapiens – us – has been around for 0,2 million years. I wonder how far back homo ludens goes?
