Listing of sculptures by Marcel Douwe Dekker
[edit]Next a listing will start with a selection of the earlier and later studies and sculptures of Marcel Douwe Dekker mostly from the 1990s. -- Mdd (talk) 01:02, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
Earliest works 1985-1990, a selection
[edit]Earliest works presumably hardly worth mentioning yet always kept in mind as special expressions that kept things going. These earliest works were products of circumstances. In 1990 the desire to become an artist triggered sculptural experiments. Earlier experiments into documentary photography in the outside world were turned into exploring the inner world and direct living environment.
