Before sculptor-painter John Rädecker became known as the creator of the Monument on Dam Square in Amsterdam (1956), he was already one of the most famous Dutch sculptors. He was also a gifted draftsman, illustrator and painter. In Rädecker's oeuvre, the emphasis is on the sensitivity and sensuality of form and on a representation of reality that appears to have a mystical symbolic and sometimes religious source.
