Je laisse béton la carte.
D'autant qu'entre temps, le #Mauritshuis annonce une fermeture en septembre quand j'y suis !! Je suis à peu près sûr que je le voyais ouvert à ces dates y a qq jours.
Le #Boijmans Depot tu as visité ? J'arrive pas à comprendre quelles oeuvres sont visibles : "Visible" y en a ... quatre. Environ 50000 sont marquées "In storage", comme c'est le dépot qu'on visite, on les voit ?? Mais ils disent en posséder 150k, oùquessont ?

Artificial “intelligence”…
Oké, het kost de energie waar ik mee op en neer had kunnen rijden naar Rotterdam en het watergebruik van heel Stiphout van vandaag, maar nu weet ik het eindelijk: 2030-2019=7.

Jan Frans van Dael, known as a traditional painter of flower and fruit still lifes in Paris, creates something completely different here. He probably did this for fun, because the result is an image of his own house. In retrospect, the registration of such an everyday scene turns out to have become a highlight. Has Van Dael explored and exceeded his artistic boundaries?

This drawing depicts the famous Egyptian queen Cleopatra, who committed suicide in 30 BC after the defeat of her troops by Octavian. She attempted to seduce the Roman ruler, but was rejected. Cleopatra then let herself be bitten by an adder to escape his rule. Michelangelo's original drawing is in Casa Buonarroti, Florence.

Did you know that this sketch may be a preliminary study for a painting by Delacroix with the same subject from 1846? That painting is now in the Walters Art Gallery in Baltimore. Both the dramatic, moving composition and the painting style of the oil sketch are reminiscent of the works of the 17th-century artist Rubens, whom Delacroix greatly admired.

On her birthday: a characteristic work by Charley Toorop. Her portraits are known for their psychological depth and emotional intensity. She knows how to capture her subjects in an intimate manner. During her career she worked in various Dutch and European cities, and exhibited with well-known artists at a young age.

Colour coordination across 2 by 6 metres. Mimmo Paladino’s style is characterised by bright colour blocks, stylised figures, and human elements. He loves to use different materials, because of their expressive quality. Aside from paint, Palladino used sand and papier-mâché to add texture and three-dimensionality.
The work is on view at the Depot, as part of the exhibition 'Beloved XL'.

Sunday oysters! In addition to sculptures, Van der Gaag made drawings and the occasional painting. This work’s title refers to a place in Italy where mysterious, prehistoric rock carvings have been found that resemble a four-petalled flower with dots on and around it. The undulating contour is recognisable in the painting, and apparently the dots have become oyster shells.

Two lovers or just ordinary friends? Kokoschka expresses the duo's personalities through colour and treatment. The introvert Mardersteig, in dreamy blues with yellow accents to symbolise his inner glow. The extrovert Heise, in lively greens with busy hands. The separate portraits have been brought together in a large frame.

A machine from the future? In 1964 Tajiri decided to make a series of machines inspired by Formula 1 cars, jet planes and space travel. He meant them to be a protest against the large amounts of money spent by governments to wage wars. Unfortunately, due to their elegance they were often misinterpreted as glorification of the military.
'Number 8' is currently on view in Bonnefanten, Maastricht.

A short trip with Marie-Louise von Motesiczky. During WWI, she fled to the Netherlands and afterwards England, where she became part of a vibrant community of exiled artists. She’s known for her intimate portraits and symbolic still lifes. This one has a humorous depiction of her elderly mother and companion-in-exile, Henriette.

The fame of Daumier’s satirical prints makes it easy to forget that he was a remarkable painter. Even his contemporaries were unaware of that, or failed to appreciate him properly, apart from a few like Corot and Degas. A caricaturist employs simplification and exaggeration. These are also found here: a washerwoman with small child takes on an air of grandeur.

'Springtime' draws inspiration from bee bearding, a challenge in which beekeepers allow as many bees as possible on their bodies. For his film, Eisinga sprinkled his body with a substance that imitates the scent of the queen bee. He sits motionless at a table, constantly looking into the camera. The wall behind him is covered with bees, and his body disappears under the insects. The work's a portrait of surrender and suffering.

Today we share a work by the French painter Hubert Robert in the style of Romanticism. The artist sits relaxed on a chair, lightly dressed. He creates a drawing of a bust with passion. Between 1754-1765 Robert stayed in Rome, where he spent the last two years in the house of the administrative official of Breteuil. This painting shows a self-portrait of the artist while he is working in this special house.

On the last day of 'A Surreal Shock' we share a classic from the exhibition in Aarhus. Originally created for a photo, it was lost, but in 1971 Man Ray created this new version. The mysterious title refers to the writer Isidor Ducasse, known for 'Les Chants de Maldoror', a publication celebrated by the surrealists. Considered as a kind of manifesto, you may be surprised how many of their works take titles from this book.

On the last day of 'Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen at Rijksmuseum' we share two works from the exhibition. Desiree Dolron uses different styles and subjects, such as documentary photography, still life and portraits. These works are part of a reportage she made in Cuba. Her reports are series of separate moments chosen for their expressive power and atmosphere.

This expressive painting was made by Agnes Canta. She had a thriving ‘studio for advertising and decorative art’ in the 1930s in Rotterdam. She also made posters for Museum Boymans, and murals in Diergaarde Blijdorp. Like many female artists, Canta refused to be part of the Kultuurkamer during occupation years. As such, she missed out on various commissions, subsidies and opportunities to exhibit.

Wishing you healthy and hopeful holidays.
A bearded man with tongue sticking out. The text band in Gothic letters reads 'Drinck und est Gott neit wergest' (Eat and drink but forget not God). Whether the potters actually represented God, or a mocking caricature of a German councillor remains a mystery.

Charlotte Schleiffert uses life-size figures to convey her fantasy. Passionate women are central in her work, and she commits to the socio-political movements of our society.
In the exhibition 'Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen at Rijksmuseum', Schleiffert’s work is part of the room ‘Venus and Amor’, where love, eroticism and sexuality take centre stage.

In the 70s, artist duo Helena and Axel van der Kraan made mechanically movable sculptures. This one was gifted in 2018, and Axel was invited to discuss the work’s condition; and look into the placement of the hands, violin (missing here) and violin bow. Practice makes perfect.

A box, painted light blue, wooden wheels which cannot turn. Realistic and mock accessoires, a car en route with passengers. Could everyone but the driver be Marisol? Her sculpture provides the perfect setting for an investigation of the self.

"As beautiful as the chance meeting on a dissecting table of a sewing machine and an umbrella." This quotation from the obscure poetic novel 'Les Chants de Maldoror' (1869) was a favourite of the surrealists. Magritte has given an almost literal visual translation: as beautiful as the chance meeting of a lion, a billiards table and many other objects on a country lane.

Omdat op Wikidata 1400 tentoonstellingen van @boijmans staan, omdat die vaak verbonden zijn met kunstenaars en die weer met stromingen (kortom, omdat het kan), een overzicht van het aantal keren dat die stromingen in het museum aan bod kwamen.
