The cross is the code for the human face. Stand in front of a mirror, look at your face, and you’ll see that it is marked with a cross, wherever.
At the same time, the cross is our European history. Whatever you think of it.
Mondrian, Newman and Rothko have struggled with the cross, fantasizing about it geometrically. Whether vertical or horizontal, sometimes in both directions...
