Verbeke foundation pt 8

Entering the laboratory of the Verbeke Foundation now. These pictures are all taken from there.

Verbeke foundation pt 4

This post contains only drawings and collages of the Verbeke Foundation. I really like the black and white collages, they had so much detail.

Verbeke Foundation pt 1

Saturday I went to Belgium for an excursion of school. The first museum we went to was from the Verbeke Foundation. It was very nice, they turned an old greenhouse company into a museum. Sometimes it was not clear whether it was part of the artwork or just some leftover of the greenhouses.

Anyway, I started sorting through my photos, so here are some. I will be posting more later I think.

I am not sure if I was supposed to be in the rooms of the last two photos. The doors were not locked, but it more seemed like someone's workplace and sleeping room (there were beds too, but no sign of life at all). Guess I will never know. xD

Boijmans van Beuningen

Thursday I went to the Boijmans van Beuningen Museum in Rotterdam. Last time I went to a museum was an excursion with school (which was in Scheveningen/Den Haag). I actually went for  the exhibition of Kokoschka but the other work was way more interesting.

Too bad I do not remember the artist of these 2 works, but I really loved them. They were really pretty. It looked very natural, even though it was mad from artificial material.

They also had very classicla and old things, such as these birdies.

This clock was really pretty too. I guess I really like detailed works.

I was excited to see a comic in a museum, but this one was very vulgar. It was this vulgar, that I thought it was a little "too much".

This portrait by Kokoschka came out very well I think.

Apparantly this was Kokoschka's favourite cat.

These are parts of bikes squished together. That was some fancy cube!

My favourite work was the room of Yayoi Kusama, so funny to be in a world full of red dots. Too bad there was not more of her work, I would love to see more.

image-heavy post!

This Saturday I went to two museums with my school. I have seen a lot of artworks, from many different artists and ages.
 We travelled to Den Haag (in the Netherlands) to visit the museums. I took some shots from the train ride too :V

A view from the window near Gouda.

 In the first museum (Beelden aan Zee) I did not have my camera with me, so I could not take pictures there. There was an interesting exhibition from Bertozzi & Casoni. They created interesting statues from ceramics. The second museum was the Gemeentemuseum. On the outside there were very playful works of art.

In this museum I took many pictures, mostly of art that I liked or found interesting. I do not know most of the names since I only look at pictures actually.

So yeah, I have no idea who the artists were. I really liked the technique of painting and drawing in these.

very pointilistic feel in this one

Here starts some more graphic work, the artist was Tuymans I believe.

And here you can see me taking a picture. XD

this was from a children's books illustrator. I really liked the style of the left figure.

really beautiful work by Mondriaan

the "famous" trees by Mondriaan

I love the bold way of painting here.

This sculpture was really cool. It is a fire with skulls, guns and a boot in it.

These were dolls in a small house. Especially the little objects are really cute.

very painterly wall.

And these were all the pictures I took. I barely go to museums, maybe I should do it more often. :) It was definately a nice experience.
