About "Groningen station hall in black and white"

by Humphry Jacobs

About the artwork

Groningen's station hall, also called the 'cathedral of the winged wheel', is undoubtedly the reason why the Hoofdstation is considered one of the most beautiful station buildings in the Netherlands. Groningen has had a railway station since 1866; the current building was built in the late 19th century. In the rush of everyday life, we tend to run from place to place and forget to see beauty in things you 'know anyway.' Look up. The colourful floral motifs and architectural elements on the ceiling are made of papier-mâché. This technique was not unusual in the past because of its low cost and light weight. However, its application on such a large scale is unusual. In addition, the hall is a so-called 'salle des pas perdus', literally a 'hall in which footsteps are lost'. The Groningen artist F.H. Bach (then a lecturer at Minerva art academy) refers here not only to the acoustics, but also to the hall's function. A waiting room in which people wander around to kill time and move their feet more or less uselessly. The picture is in black and white.
