De ziel van de meester

honderd topstukken uit het Prentenkabinet en de collectie van het Museum Plantin-Moretus te Antwerpen

Edición de la obra De ziel van de meester

Drawing is an intimate activity. A drawing captures a first impression, a fleeting pose, an emotion. It is a snapshot in time. It is the artist's way of quickly recording his ideas and ordering his thoughts. For this book, experts, impassioned artists, enthusiasts, locals and young people were allowed to choose a total of 100 drawings from the Prentenkabinet collection. Surprisingly perhaps, rather than just go for the collection's highlights, many chose less familiar works. The resulting exhibition is an encounter between contemporary talent and old masters. Exhibition: Museum Plantin-Moretus, Antwerp, Belgium, Sept. 9-Dec. 12, 2012.
