The story of Dutch artist René Daniëls is inspiring and tragic: he burstonto the scene in 1977 with paintings and drawings that broke theserious art mold, had a disabling stroke in 1987 at the age of 37, andhasn't made art since. His paintings tackled subject matter like books,a phonograph record or a film camera with broad, loose brushstrokesand evocative colors, connecting the paintings of the 1970s with a moreexpressionistic, punk style. With some reproductions of drawingsand paintings, writings by Daniels and interviews with the artist. InEnglish and Dutch. Accompanies a retrospective at the De PontMuseum of Contemporary Art.
