In the preface Myriam Wierschowski from the Deutsches Glasmalerei-Museum Linnich, Germany explains in this smaller catalogue how Jochem Poensgen (1931) since 1959 worked in many techniques of architectural glass art. Working now with the technique of reversed glass painting, he often stacks several layers giving the panel a deeper spacey density.

Elisa Ambrosio from the Vitrocentre Romont describes a short history of the technique, develop beyond the folk art by artists like Gerhard Richter and Yves Siffer and the pleasure Poeschen lives through the painting on the back side of the glass sheets, the colours and the shine (on the sight side) and Jochem Poensgen himself wrote the chapter on his reversed glass paintings. The rest of all pages are filled with sequences of smaller photos of the works. Nice souvenir to bring home visiting the exposition.
