Germaine Kruip/Milou Rabe/Jan Maarten Voskuil/Guido Winkler
Scheltema presents installations of the contemporary artists Germaine Kruip, Milou Rabe, Jan Maarten Voskuil and Guido Winkler who are inspired by Theo van Doesburg.
In close cooperation with Tate Modern in London, Stedelijk Museum De Lakenhal in Leiden presents a major exhibition on Theo van Doesburg (1883-1931), and this artist’s influence on the international avant-garde. Energetically and enthusiastically, Van Doesburg broke new ground as the initiator, ambassador, promoter and organiser of the new art. The 300-plus works by some 80 artists – among whom El Lissitzky, László Moholy-Nagy, Gino Severini, Kurt Schwitters, Hans and Sophie Arp, Hans Richter, Piet Mondrian, Vilmos Huszár and Alexander Archipenko – are on loan from museums from around the world. Many of these works have never been on display before in the Netherlands.
