Quando gli artisti “vanno al mare”, in una mostra a L’Aia

15 Luglio 2018

Oltre sessanta opere degli artisti Mondrian, Toorop, van Heemskerck e Hart Nibbrig definiscono il percorso espositivo della mostra "By the Sea". Visitabile fino al 18 novembre al Gemeentemuseum dell'Aia, la rassegna intende celebrare il legame che questi e altri autori strinsero con la provincia dello Zeeland, agli inizi del Novecento. La zona costiera dei Paesi Bassi divenne il soggetto privilegiato per numerosi lavori, grazie alla bellezza dei suoi paesaggi e alle peculiari condizioni di luce.
