Fiction. Translated by Asja Novak. THE YELLOW HOUSE paints a fictional picture of Vincent van Gogh's life between August 1888 and December 1889 when he lived in Arles in Southern France and where he created many of his masterpieces. Jeroen Blokhuis tells the story from van Gogh's point of view, from inside his mind, providing a fresh and revealing look at how this intriguing painter worked. At this point, van Gogh has fled from the dark sombre Netherlands of his youth, from Paris, and even from his best friend and beloved brother Theo, in search of the light, the sun of the South. The yellow house in Place Lamartine becomes his refuge, but what about his hope of setting up an atelier with ot...

Walter Liedtke, curator of European paintings at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, has assembled a splendid catalog of Vermeer and his artistic milieu. Seven lengthy, well-illustrated chapters (Liedtke wrote five, Dutch art historians Michiel Plomp and Marten Jan Bok wrote the others) describe life in the city of Delft; the painters Carel Fabritius, Leonart Bramer, and others who preceded Vermeer; the careers of Vermeer and De Hooch; the making of drawings and prints in 17th-century Delft; and the collecting of art in the same period. The catalog follows: each painting, print, and drawing accompanied by a lengthy catalog essay. Oversize: 12.25x9.75". c. Book News Inc.
Presents a catalog that surveys the Dutch paintings found in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Berlin in the 1920s is a city of seedy night clubs and sumptuous art galleries, where nothing is quite what it seems. It is home to Emmeline, a young art student; Julius, an art expert who loves paintings more than people; and Frank, a Jewish lawyer looking for a way to protect both his family and his principles as the Nazis begin their rise to power. Rachmann, a mercurial art dealer-- and newly discovered paintings by Vincent van Gogh-- will provide a scandal that turns all their lives upside down. -- adapted from jacket
This book discusses how the Dutch vocational education system has undergone significant waves of reform driven by global imperatives, national concerns and governmental policy goals. Like elsewhere, the impetuses for these reforms are directed to generating a more industry-responsive, locally-accountable and competence-based vocational education system. Each wave of reforms, however, has had particular emphases, and directed to achieve particular policy outcomes. Yet, they are more than mere versions of what had or is occurring elsewhere. They are shaped by specific national imperatives, sentiments and localised concerns. Consequently, whilst this book elaborate what constitutes the contempo...
Bij het communiceren spelen naast de taal ook allerlei andere factoren een rol, zoals: informatieverwerking, alertheid, concentratie, tijdsbesef en emoties. Bij kinderen en volwassenen met een verstandelijke beperking kunnen deze factoren de communicatie ernstig beperken. Dit boek biedt een methodiek, het communicatieprofiel, waarin deze factoren in beeld worden gebracht zodat de omgeving beter op hen kan inspelen en goed bij hen kan aansluiten. Dat kan veel (gedrags)problemen voorkomen. In het eerste deel staat beschreven welke hersenfuncties met communicatie te maken hebben en worden er belangrijke neurologische begrippen uitgelegd. Dit wordt ondersteund met praktijkvoorbeelden. Het tweede deel licht toe hoe emoties en specifieke stoornissen een invloed kunnen hebben op de manier waarop iemand communiceert. In het derde deel wordt aangegeven hoe een communicatieprofiel kan opgemaakt worden. Dit wordt opnieuw ondersteund met praktijkvoorbeelden. Het boek is gericht op begeleiders, leerkrachten en iedereen die - al dan niet beroepshalve - omgaat met kinderen en volwassenen met een verstandelijke beperking.
