Samenvatting

Another look Another look at artists in Holland. They are more than worthy of our attention. We wanted to provide others with an opportunity of experiencing the working world of these people and show them amidst their art. Each portrait is based on three views: first, the person of the artist; second, the art they produce; and third, the working space, which could be a studio but equally well something as intangible as the atmosphere surrounding an artist. Inspired by these three elements the portraits gradually evolved. They progress from complicated scenes in which the figure of the artist is only one of a number of objects in the photograph. They move through pictures that combine part of the person with part of his work. They conclude with the face only, almost larger than life, the

To complement the portraits, another look at the artists is given in words. We asked three art historians, each of whom has a different style and approach, to write about these artists. Their pieces range from lyrical descriptions, through academic discussions, to a selection of statements made by the artists. The introductory essay is by art critic Anna Tilroe, who takes another look at the framework within which artists function in the Netherlands. She offers information for those unfamiliar with the intricacies of Dutch art policy and she gives an appreciation of the diversity and quality of modern Dutch art. Together with Dennis Hogers, who was also involved in the planning of this book, we compiled a selection of artists. We then asked for comments and criticism from contemporary art specialists and museum curators in the Netherlands. We are extremely grateful to the following for their valuable suggestions: Geert van Beijeren; Marie Hélène Cornips; Hendrik Driessen; Sjarel Ex; Alexander van Grevenstein; Frank Lubbers; and Edy de Wilde. Regretfully, not all the artists whom we had selected were able to appear in the book. The three authors, Marja Bosma, Leo Delfgaauw and Pietje Tegenbosch worked with unflustered enthusiasm and attention to detail and we value highly all they contributed, from start to finish, to the production of this book. Where would we be without our artists? They certainly deserve another look. We want to thank them, both for taking part in this project and for offering us new doors of perception.
