Each small rectangular cell contains a gestural drawing depicting intimate human interaction. The artist employs a restricted palette of purple and orange ink, which creates a rhythmic visual structure across the page. The figures are rendered with minimal, fluid lines, focusing on the physical connection between bodies rather than anatomical precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVan Tijen, known for his work in cybernetics and social activism, created this series as a direct engagement with the social and political climate of the mid-1960s. The title, which translates to '99 drawings for homophilia', situates the work within the context of the emerging gay rights movement in Europe. By organising these sketches into a systematic, repetitive grid, the artist removes the individual subjects from a narrative context, instead presenting them as a collective expression of identity and desire. The repetition of the rectangular frames suggests a serial approach common in the conceptual art practices of the era, where the arrangement of images is as important as the content within them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis print captures the raw, immediate quality of the original ink drawings. The contrast between the dark purple blocks and the lighter orange accents provides a sense of balance, while the varying density of the lines keeps the eye moving across the composition. It is a document of a specific time and place, reflecting the artist's interest in human behaviour and social structures. The work remains a significant example of how graphic art was used to document and support social causes during the 1960s, maintaining a clear, unadorned aesthetic that prioritises the clarity of the message.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/36-voorstellingen-waaronder-cactus-pieter-holstein\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003e36 voorstellingen, waaronder cactus by Pieter Holstein\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/aan-vermomden-karel-petrus-cornelis-de-bazel\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eAan vermomden by Karel Petrus Cornelis de Bazel\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/collections\/tjebbe-van-tijen\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eTjebbe van Tijen prints →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Tjebbe van Tijen","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58796841042255,"sku":null,"price":220.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58796841107791,"sku":null,"price":220.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58796841206095,"sku":null,"price":290.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58796841238863,"sku":null,"price":450.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58796841304399,"sku":null,"price":450.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/99-tekeningen-voor-homofilie-Parijs-maart-66_Poster_CompositorV1_1789568541859-q80.jpg?v=1792702240","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/en-nz\/products\/99-tekeningen-voor-homofilie-parijs-maart-66-tjebbe-van-tijen","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
