Still-life Paintings from the Netherlands, 1550-1720
This stunning book presents the very best still lifes produced in the Netherlands at the height of the genre, from the early beginnings in the 16th century, with Pieter Aertsen and Joachim Beuckelaer, to the late highlights in the 18th century, with Rachel Ruysch and Jan van Huysum. Despite the popularity and abundance of flower paintings in modern collections, the book includes a wide range of subjects and styles, from the simple to the complex, the charmingly small to the opulent and extravagant, and from flowers to hunting still lifes or objects in the corner of a painter's studio, along with an occasional trompe l'oeil. The visual delights of still-life painting have a strong historical ...
Intensely Dutch

Bright colour, impasto and vigorous handling were features of their work. This catalogue is published to accompany the exhibition presenting the work of some of the most important Dutch artists of the post-war period, including those associated with CoBrA (Karel Appel, Constant, Corneille and Lucebert) and art informel (JaapWagemaker, Jan J Schoonhoven and Bram Bogart) and those who preceded them, like Bram van Velde andWillem de Kooning, whose work found international favour after theWar.

The Poetry of Reality
"The artistic work produced in the Netherlands a hundred years ago is characterized by enormous variety. Impressionism was still a strong influence, but young artists were exploring numerous other avenues as well. Some turned to new sources of inspiration such as Japanese art and symbolism, while others were pushing stylization to its limits. International schools were followed closely by the Dutch artists, many of whom stayed for months at a time in Paris, the South of France or London to study the new trends at close range. These developments, which roughly spanned the period 1885-1915, began with Van Gogh, and ended with Mondrian...This book explores the significance of this period of art on paper...The selection gives an excellent impression of the range of work produced on paper in the period around 1900."--back cover
