Landscape interventions and the state of the art.

A conversation among artists and you

Since the inception in the 20th century Landscape occupied the attention of the avant garde. Cezanne and the Cubists were enthralled by the discoveries on the new ways of seeing nature and understanding the mind-eye relation. Again today artists find the horizon line  as the boundery were everything converges,  from technological developments (such as the TOM TOM) to zen philosophy,combined with Western concerns about the environment, to the theatrical possibilities offered by staged photography and aerial images. Landscape is invention.

The exhibition is conveniently presented in former house of one of The Netherlands outstanding masterpainters: Hendrik Willem mesdag, Member of The  Hague school.
