"Hans Clavin, one of the pioneers of visual poetry in the Netherlands, made his debut in 1966 in the magazine Vers Univers, and was closely involved with international concrete and visual poetry until the mid-1970s. He launched the magazine Subvers, which ran for six years, in 1970. Clavin developed his concrete and visual poetry at many different levels and collected the results in a variety of artists' books. He consistently adopts visuality as the basic principle for the realisation of his poems. The collage technique came to dominate his poetry from the 1970s, although he continued to base himself on the letter, word, and association (Eris een grensgebied tussen, tussen taal en beeldende kunst: visuele poëzie. Voor mij blijft dat pure poëzie. Alles wat i aakt heb is pure poëzie, dat is mijn overtuiging)
