If you've ever taken a stroll through Leiden, an adorable and ancient city in the Netherlands about 30 minutes by train south of Schiphol Airport; you may have seen poems and quotations like this one painted on the houses in the alleys and side streets.
We'll have to take a bit of a detour to get to the origins of this initiative.
Remember the Dutch art movement called "de Stijl" of Piet Mondrian fame? It was founded in 1917 by a number of artists and architects on the principle of "neo-plasticism"; best explained by Mondrian as "this new plastic idea will ignore the particulars of appearance, that is to say, natural form and colour. On the contrary, it should find its expression in the abstraction of form and colour, that is to say, in the straight line and the clearly defined primary colour". De Stijl was also the name of a journal – published by the Dutch painter, designer, writer, poet and critic Theo van Doesburg – that propagated the group's theories.
Now we return to our main course.
1992 was the 75 year anniversary of the magazine "De Stijl", and to honour that, artist Ben Walenkamp suggested to showcase some of van Doesburg's poems publicly on local walls. This initiative expanded through collaboration with his friend and painter Jan-Willem Bruins as project "Dicht bij de Muur" and the foundation of the organization "Tegen-Beeld", and now at least 110 murals in some 30 languages.
P.S. The Dutch are very very fond of word play, and "Tegen-Beeld" literally means "Counter-Image" and would be best translated as "counter-argument". "Dicht bij de Muur" would literally mean "close to the wall" but 'dicht' is also short for 'gedicht' meaning poem. Oh, those Dutch.

@raganwald if it is anything like the Red and Blue Chair it will be amazingly comfortable
During lockdown I used his original plans and notes to make a replica Red and Blue Chair. For a chair which is all flat surfaces and angles it is remarkably relaxing and nice to sit in.

"Composition with Yellow and Blue," Piet Mondrian, 1929.
Mondrian (1872-1944) is regarded as one of the greatest artists of the 20th century. He started off as a representational painter, doing many landscapes taking after the Realist and Impressionist schools, but as he matured he became more and more abstract. This was also fueled by his spiritual and utopian views; he strived to create a greater, better world, using his art as a channel.
In 1919, he co-founded an art movement called De Stijl, focused on straight lines and heavily influenced by Cubism and Elemtarism. De Stijl also influenced design, music, and architecture. He split with them in 1924, and they more-or-less fell apart in 1931.
Here, in his post-De Stijl days, he reduced his art to a mere grid and blocks of color, feeling that it should be freed from the duty of representationalism. He was highly influential, not merely in the art world; Yves Saint Laurent had Mondrian-styled dresses in the 60s, a time when Mondrian-style pop art became common...remember the bus on "The Partridge Family"?
