Although the primary function of the drawings was probably instructional, for me they suggest a thought provoking world of their own. I was thinking of them recently because there is a very talented contemporary artist named Pablo Bronstein, who draws architectural subjects often with baroque overtones, whose work is sometimes strongly suggestive of De Vries.
