   Jan Dibbets may someday have his work revered as much as his Dutch
predecessors Vermeer, Van Gogh,  and Rembrandt. At a time when the
trends in art are toward abstraction and minimalism, Dibbets' work
integrates these two disparate trends into one remarkable whole.
5  In one series of composite works, he  arranged sections of architectural
photographs into rounded patterns. Then, with pen and ink and watercolors,
he connected the segments together into 360-degree circular forms
blending the abstract with  the real and the imagined. The imaginary
images resemble the views of ceilings in gothic, baroque, and  neo-classical
10 buildings as they might be seen from the ground floor.
