Counterpoint is a concept which has its roots in music, where it refers, loosely speaking, to the simultaneous presence of musical lines which complement one another, at times converging and at other moments evolving into a relationship of contrast. In this paper I use the notion of counterpoint in a visual context. I conjecture that such an extended use is meaningful, and explain this for graphical work as well as for sculptures. I take the freedom to illustrate this with some of my own artwork.
