Leonardo da Vinci is the archetypal universal man, a multi-talented genius who left an indelible mark on all the realms of art and knowledge he ventured into – painting, drawing and architecture, natural science, anatomy, mathematics, engineering and astronomy. His genius as a painter was reinforced by an analytical understanding of not only the human body but also nature and the physical laws of light. On the five-hundredth anniversary of Leonardo’s death in 1519, this book celebrates th...

Liesbeth Piena (1993) maakt krachtige schilderijen waarin planten en natuurlijke landschappen worden teruggebracht tot essentiële vormen.

Aline Bouvy's catalogue takes the form of loitering, in that it is as much about sexual vagrancy and police patrols as stray dogs and queer flirtations.

On the horizon of this poetic, transgressive deviation, we spy the utopia of a fluid sexuality which the visual artist assimilates less with pragmatic LGBT militancy than a permanent critique of the aesthetic and health codes which society uses to keep our bodies in check and contains its desires. Anticipating the end of mortifying inhibition...

Het oeuvre van de Nederlandse schilder Tjebbe Beekman bestaat uit schilderijen van ruwe stedelijke landschappen en interieurs op groot formaat.
