Purchased by the Centraal Museum
In 2018 I received the honorable commission from director Bart Rutten and curator modern art Marja Bosma of the Centraal Museum in Utrecht to portray five great Utrecht artists of the last century: What an honor! What a challenge!
To get a good idea of the personalities and characters, I have spoken extensively to children, grandchildren, and stepchildren. Those were very nice conversations with surprising stories, anecdotes. Who were these people, but especially: how were these people at home, at work, what drove them, what would they say to you now? Which events, choices or actions defined them? It was striking that all the relatives had in common, that the subject portrayed always forced them on their drawing lessons: LOOK! YOU MUST LOOK!
Thanks to The Friends of the Centraal Museum for financing this purchase.
Interview in 'Centraal Laat'
