Mathieu Ficheroux

[2][3] Ficheroux is especially known for his 1960s "pink and brown paintings of objects of plastic and light reliefs (sleeping pieces), in which eroticism and alienation were important themes.

After graduation he was lecturer at the Academie voor Beeldende Kunsten from 1949 to 1953, where he taught fashion photography.

"[3] For example, Mathieu Ficheroux designed a Rotterdam monument for Louis Davids; a carefully crafted 78-rpm record, with as dramatic accent, a piece has broken off.

The mural contained the quote by Multatuli: Van de maan af gezien zijn we allen even groot (Seen from the moon, we are all equally sized).

After the original building was demolished in 1985, the mural was relocated in 1987 at its present location at the corner of the Mauritsweg and Van Oldebarneveltstraat.
