The portfolio is in very good condition and has been personally signed and numbered by Armando with a pencil.

Armando was a poet, painter, and more—a true all-round talent. His expressive works often depict war, and Armando coined the term 'guilty landscape' for the environment where atrocities took place, usually leaving no trace. His poems consist of crystal-clear words, but the connections between them are mysterious; they are fragments, moments, through which horrors seem to unfold.
Even in his prose and reports, Armando isolates daily conversations or presents 'found' texts (for example, an agricultural guide or the books of Karl May). At the age of twenty-five, Armando published his first poems in the literary magazine Podium (1954), but his debut collection was only published in 1964 and was titled Collected Poems 1951-1963.
In his style, Armando strives for conciseness: 'I always want to write beautiful, clear Dutch. When I read other people's books, I often immediately know: I would never want to write like that. I want it to be very clear and transparent, as if it was said exactly that.' His poems have also been compared to 'armored concrete.'
