Eile mit Weile (Haste Makes Waste) is a series of 5 panels in which Diederik Gerlach refers to the fifties. With his typical range of mixed colours he paints poster-like images with people that are in a quiet hurry. The use of ondulating lines and patterns that imitate fabric structures are a recurrent feature in the series. The smoke from the cigar for instance seems to turn into a twisted cord.
