Hillegom Kunstwerk Witte Engel
Hillegom () is a town and municipality in the western Netherlands, in the province of South Holland. Hillegom is part of an area called the Duin- en Bollenstreek ("Dune and Bulb Region"). As such, a large portion of the local economy was traditionally geared to the cultivation of bulb flowers. The name Hillegom is derived from the abbey named ''Hijlighem'' (Old Frankish for "Holy Home"). This abbey no longer exists. The current Lord of Hillegom is Jan Six X. History Hillegom was formed on the eastern edge of the coastal dunes where the old Leiden to Haarlem route crossed the ''Hillegommerbeek'' (Hillegom's Creek), not far from the shores of the '' Haarlemmermeer'' (Haarlem's Lake). Places with the suffix "-heim" (or variant spellings) usually developed before the year 1000 and therefore it is assumed that this may apply to Hillegom as well.

Pulchri Studio
Pulchri Studio (Latin:"For the study of beauty") is a Dutch art society, art institution and art studio based in The Hague ('s-Gravenhage), Netherlands. This institute began in 1847 at the home of painter Lambertus Hardenberg. Since 1893 the club has its residence in the villa at Lange Voorhout in The Hague. Membership is made up of painters, sculptors, photographers and art lovers, with members selected by a committee. An artist's membership allows themt to exhibit their own works in the galleries of the Company. Guests have to be invited by members. Origins The unspoilt countryside around even the rich coastal town of The Hague with its rural environment and the unspoiled landscape and nature and the nearby fishing village of Scheveningen attracted many young artists. The artists wanted to be far away from the state-run requirements of art (neo-classicism) and liked to decide their own way. The model was the successful artist colony of Barbizon south of Paris in the forest ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Posthoorn-group
The New Hague School (Dutch Nieuwe Haagse School) was a movement in the Dutch fine arts of the 1950s and 60s. It opposed the Cobra avant-garde movement and found its inspiration in 17th-century art and the experiences of the Barbizon School and the resulting Hague School. History Immediately after the Second World War The Hague artists came up with their own renewal in painting in addition to the experimental Cobra movement. In 1949 came the first Posthoorn-group, named after the bodega and art gallery named De Posthoorn. The group disbanded in 1962. In 1951 came the group Verve, or Hague Verve, which focused on The Hague interpretation of the innovations in the School of Paris in modern figurative art. The group ceased to exist in 1957. As a loose continuation of Verve, the group Fugare was founded in 1960, with an emphasis on non-figurative art. This group existed until 1967. In 1947 in the then-named Gemeentemuseum Den Haag held an exhibition for artists from The ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
