Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen

Helena & Axel van der Kraan Adler 1974

In the 70s, artist duo Helena and Axel van der Kraan made mechanically movable sculptures. This one was gifted in 2018, and Axel was invited to discuss the work’s condition; and look into the placement of the hands, violin (missing here) and violin bow. Practice makes perfect.

A box, painted light blue, wooden wheels which cannot turn. Realistic and mock accessoires, a car en route with passengers. Could everyone but the driver be Marisol? Her sculpture provides the perfect setting for an investigation of the self. Marisol The Car 1964

Magritte has given an almost literal visual translation: as beautiful as the chance meeting of a lion, a billiards table and many other objects on a country lane. René Magritte La jeunesse illustrée 1937

"As beautiful as the chance meeting on a dissecting table of a sewing machine and an umbrella." This quotation from the obscure poetic novel 'Les Chants de Maldoror' (1869) was a favourite of the surrealists.

"Zo hoog als de kunst piekt tijdens de oorlog, zo diep is het dal erna." In de depotpresentatie 'Kunst tussen de ruïnes', over de Rotterdamse kunstwereld van 1940-45, krijgen vergeten en nog nooit vertoonde werken uit de museumcollectie een podium. kunsttussenderuines.boijmans.nl

The table with the telephone and the bottle of Odol represent Pop Art, the mysterious window shows Surrealism. Lucassen wants to rid both approaches of their one-sidedness by combining them in one painting. Lucassen Still Life with Odol Bottle (Hommage to Dine and Magritte) 1970

Without appropriating his own style, Lucassen uses diverse styles to represent opposing visions of art and reality. In this painting he brings Jim Dine and René Magritte together.

Hyper-Realism emerged around 1965. Painters began to implement photographic levels of realism. Hanson also adopted this style, with extremely lifelike sculptures wearing real clothing. His work is an ironic reflection of reality. Duane Hanson | Seated Child | 1974

"Eeuwen aan kunst uit Boijmans Van Beuningen. Geëxposeerd in het Rijksmuseum van Amsterdam. Kris kros door de levensfases van de mens. Maar telkens door een net wat andere lens." - Tato Wesselo 29.09.2023 - 14.01.2024 @rijksmuseum rijksmuseum.nl/nl/zien-en-doe…
