style Explanation: determine the style. style might be just too flat for "vormentaal", but I think that symbolism would be too heavy, an overinterpretation of a rather easily used Dutch term. Greetings, Nikolaus |

Voorbeelden (zie de referenties): "Hij zocht naar een abstracte vormentaal die universeel geldig was en waarmee hij vorm kon geven aan een nieuwe werkelijkheid." wordt "He sought an abstract formal vocabulary that would be universally valid and through which he could give form to a new reality." en "Uit de experimenten rond objecten in beweging ontstond een geabstraheerde geometrische vormentaal van vierkanten, cirkels, ringen, schijven, lijnen en punten..." wordt "The dispute centred on people and objects in motion gradually engendered an abstracting geometrical language of forms of squares, circles, rings, discs, lines and points..." http://www.vanabbemuseum.nl/archief/c/coll14.html Reference: http://www.stmk.gv.at/verwaltung/lmj-ng/98/jvk2/jvk2_en2.htm...
