Description:

This publication provides a unique retrospective of the multifaceted nature of the work of painter René Daniëls, against the backdrop of the art scene and underground culture of the 1970s and 1980s. Daniëls (b. 1950) is considered one of the leading Dutch painters of his generation. He gave the art of painting in the Netherlands a new élan like no one before him. In his work he links the visual arts and their rich past with history and everyday life. Ambiguity and double meanings play a major role in his work. A cerebral hemorrhage in 1987 made it impossible for Daniëls to work for an extended period, but his oeuvre is still relevant, vital, intelligent and a source of inspiration to new generations.
