"..and he doesn't even slow down!" Andriessen cartoon
Caption: "..and he doesn't even slow down!"
Frits van der Waa made this cartoon in 1993, explaining:
"I would say the figure on the left doesn't need any explanation. The tiny figure on the right is Louis Andriessen, at the moment the most succesful Dutch composer, who composed several impressive works with even more impressive titles, like Time, Matter, Contra Tempus, Velocity and so on, all of which can be found in this drawing".
It would be interesting to see how from today perspective similar cartoon would look like.

Andriessen Football Cartoon
Frits van der Waa sends this story and illustration:
When Louis was ten years old and the Andriessen family moved to The Hague, Peter Vos [now a well-known illustrator] was his bosom friend. He often came to stay and they would play Pirates, and Indians, and football. Louis had an album in which he collected pictures of football players. He had a complete set, but one got lost. Peter drew a suitable replacement for him.
