Jan Schoonhoven (1914–1994) is considered one of the most important Dutch artists of the 20th century and was a central figure in the Nul movement, closely aligned with the international ZERO group. His works are defined by their absence of emotional expression, focusing instead on repetition, rhythm, and the use of pure white. Despite his growing international reputation, Schoonhoven continued to work as a civil servant in Delft until retirement and often created his artworks in the evenings, using modest materials such as cardboard and papier-mâché.

His minimalist works are featured in the collections of major museums, including the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, the Guggenheim Museum New York, and the Centre Pompidou in Paris.
