About
This image also reflects Senbergs' interest in surrealism and absurdist theatre:
"An ambiguous, well, an absurd image … I called it Love the stage because I didn't know what to call it, but it's a also a cliché
to say 'love the stage' – it's a kind of post-surrealist title … As far as the printing goes, it's becoming more complex."[Hendrik Kolenberg, Jan Senbergs complete screenprints 1960-88, pg 54]
