Hockney-Van Gogh
A parallel look at Hockney and Van Gogh's love of nature as expressed in their landscape paintings
The Past Inside the Present. Esther Tielemans
Art is artificial; it is a fake version of reality. The imagery of art represents, illustrates suggests and provides stillness it sharpens our perspectives and deepens the experience of reality. Esther Tielemanss work aligns opposites, like the two and three-dimensional, the abstract and figurative, reality and artificiality. It forms an environment in which the experience of the new precedes the habitual of the familiar. The authors of this book, Maria Barnas and Hans den Hartog Jager, describe their findings in a personal, poetic and investigative manner; while being supported by art history references and other cultural phenomena. Their in-depth approach illustrates how this body of work lets our perpetual sense of reality slip as it invades our senses. Yet this extraordinary environment, that grounds the past in the present, is simultaneously undetermined as it feels close to our sense of particularity. Where we are is suddenly different from where we once were.
Celine Van Den Boorn. The Promise
Van den Boorn, fascinated by the relationship between nature and mankind, carefully painted away all human presence and traces throughout the 52 pages of a brochure that promotes winter sports in Austria by the Austrian National Tourist Office. In doing this, she reveals the source of the experience promised by the makers, the untouched winter landscape itself. Text by Hans den Hartog Jager.0.
Rembrandt and Velázquez
Rembrandt-Velázquez: Dutch and Spanish Masters' presents the best work of two seventeenth-century master painters from the Netherlands and Spain. Works by Rembrandt and Velázquez are presented in a context of contemporaries and compatriots, including spectacular works by Zurbarán, Vermeer, Murillo, Hals, Valdés Leal, Torrentius, Ribera and others. 'Rembrandt-Velázquez' focuses on themes such as religion and realism, beauty and emotion. Presented in pairs, the Spanish and Dutch masterpieces enter into a dialogue. In his essay Hans den Hartog Jager looks for the differences and similarities between two of the greatest painters of all time - and arrives at an unexpected conclusion. Cees Nooteboom takes the reader back to his memories of Spain and reflects on the history and art of the country he calls his second homeland. Exhibition: Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, The Netherlands (11.10.2019-19.02.2020).
Het sublieme
Toen Mark Rothko in 1970 zijn laatste doeken had geschilderd was dat het einde van de schoonheid in de moderne kunst. Schoonheid was verdacht: ze was niet vernieuwend, niet kritisch, niet revolutionair. Maar het verlangen naar schoonheid was niet verdwenen- en de laatste jaren is ze dan ook langzaam op de weg terug, alleen in een andere gedaanten dan we gewend waren. De installaties en video's van de kunstenaar Olafur Eliasson, David Claerbout en James Turrell stoten kunstkijkers uit het leven van alledag, werpen hen terug in de natuur, terug op hun diepste emoties en laten hun de tijd vergeten. Daarmee is, vrij onverwacht, ook het sublieme weer terug in de beeldende kunst. Hans den Hartog Jager beschrijft de ondergang en opkomst van de schoonheid in deze prikkelende kijk op een belangrijke ontwikkeling in de hedendaagse kunst.

Danaë Moons - Out of Grip
Two years after her disappearance in a boating accident on the Mahakam River, on her way to explore deep forest in Kalimantan, Indonesia, the first solo exhibition of work by young Dutch artist Danaë Moons was realised in Amsterdam. Published for the occasion, this book gathers her diverse oeuvre, from prints and film stills to sculptural objects, in turn reflecting her fascination with nature, stones, and the jungle. Through abstract and organic forms, she sought to express the confrontation between humans and the world around them, and pursued her deep desire to understand the foundations of this often paradoxical relationship. With a poignant text by Hans den Hartog Jager. 00Exhibition: Nieuw Dakota, Amsterdam, The Netherlands (11.12.2016-15.01.2017).

Tom Claassen
"Dutch artist Tom Claassen (1964) is best known for the sculptural pieces he's created for public space. Almost everyone in the Netherlands is familiar with the family of elephants grazing alongside the A6 motorway near Almere and with three giant rabbits at Rotterdam's Kunsthal. And how many travellers have stopped to admire two larger-than-life figures seated on the floor at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol?" "In addition to Claassen's major commissions for public space, this unique compilation of the artist's versatile oeuvre includes self-initiated projects as well. It is these works, in particular - pieces less apt to evoke the tender feelings that emerge at the sight of his animal sculptures - that illustrate the extent of Claassen's passion for form and space, and his keenly intelligent treatment of both." --Book Jacket.
