mourning cockle
Kokkelschelp, watercolour, 2011 (30 x 20 cm) |
I was told that in the views that prevail in some Asian areas, a shell is the home of an entity that is no longer a living being.
And so this signifies the presence of death.
The circumstance that a few people that I know left this life recently reminded me of this.
Then, I created this mourning cockle shell.
Dat in sommige streken in Azië de opvatting heerst dat een schelp het tehuis is van een individu dat niet langer leeft, is me bekend.
Daarom verwijst dat naar de dood.
De omstandigheid dat onlangs enkele mensen die ik ken het leven hebben verlaten bracht dit weer onder mijn aandacht.
Daarop maakte ik deze rouwende kokkelschelp.

The squid Loligopsis Veranii
Loligopsis Veranii (B. 564), watercolour 2011 (c. 30 x 20 cm) |
The original design starts in the mid nineteenth century. In 1851 Jean Baptiste Vérany, published his “Mollusques méditeranéens”. Our squid is then pictured at plate # 38.
Father and son Blaschka based a glass model of this species on this very image, and a photograph of it can be found on the site of the Corning Museum of Glass.
In the Blaschka sales cataloge for the 1880s it was offered as model # 564.
Ernst Haeckel, German zoologist and inspriration of Jugendstil (which mor or less equals to "German Art Nouveau") presented the shape of this squid as natural beauty.
He was driven to stimulate the decorative arts by means of the images and shapes found in nature in his Kunstformen der Natur (Art Forms in nature). In this Album, published in installments in the period 1899-1904, our squid is pictured at plate # 54.
And here is my study, at last.

In memoriam A3 S
Hiking in Norway, 1980, watercolour (c. 40 x 30 cm) |
Onlangs verloor ik een dierbare vriend, met wie ik hoogzomer 1980 een reis maakte, tot ver boven de poolcirkel, door het noordelijkste Noorwegen.
Een land waar overal helder koud water is, zoete en rinse bessen. En muggen. Zijn zon gaat niet meer onder. Hij wordt gemist.
Recently, I lost a friend with whom I hiked in Norway in 1980. He is missed.

1971-2011
Dit jaar vieren vrienden een 40-jarige bruiloft. Om dit te herdenken heb ik het onderwerp van de trouwkaart hernomen. In 1971 heb ik daarvoor een illustratie gemaakt. Ze ademt de tijdgeest van Flower Power.
Toen was ik juist met een biologiestudie begonnen en had nog geen idee dat ik me in 1978 zou inschrijven aan de Gerrit Rietveld Academie. Nu stem ik nogmaals af op de vrolijke jaren van Love & Peace.
This year the 40th wedding anniversary of friends is celebrated. To commemorate this, I reworked the subject of the wedding invitation. In 1971 I drew an illustration for that card. It conveys the Zeitgeist of Flower Power.
At that time I commenced my biology studies and had no idea that in 1978 I would enroll at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy. Today I tune in again at the merry years of Love & Peace.

Václav Frič
The 2005 study that was executed in cooperation with Taťjána Spunarová (see article) induced contacts.
A Scandinavian anthropologist with an interest in pre-modern whaling, asked for details about the provenance of the whale that Frič procured around 1885 and then installed in the Czech National Museum. Taťjána helped him.
A master student of the Université Pierre et Marie Curie in Paris looked into the fluid preserved skeletons from Frič' natural history business. He developed a method to evaluate these objects and so he delivered a solid overview..
In Sydney, the Australian museum keeps a handwritten catalogue of crystal models offered by Frič, his printed Foraminifers catalogue and also a set of Blaschka glass models. In the past I have helped this Museum in editing the web text that introduces these models.

Linearity I
Onlangs had ik een atelierbezoek bij de kunstenaar P.H. Van Acker. Hij analyseert de tijdlijn van een muzikale compositie per seconde. Deze benadering is de basis voor uitbeelding in lineaire reeksen. In zijn monumentale werk "Franciscus" beeldt hij de opera "Saint François d'Assise" van Olivier Messiaen uit.
Een lineaire benadering heb ik zelf gebruikt in de weergave van een embryologie-reeks van de zeeslak Tiedemannia neapolitana (als studie). Uiteindelijk zal ik voor dat onderwerp een vloeiende compositie gebruiken (zie blog 5 mei 2011).
Ik zie, dat een lineaire weergave een dwingende kracht kan hebben.
Recently I visited the studio of P.H. Van Acker, artist. He analyses the timeline of a musical composition per second. This approach is the basis for visualisation in linear sequences. In his monumental work "Franciscus" he visualises Olivier Messiaen's opera "Saint François d'Assise".
I used a linear approach myself in the image of an embryology series of the sea slug Tiedemannia neapolitana (as a study). In the end, I will apply a more fluid composition (see blog May 5, 2011).
I see that a linear approach can have a compelling drive.

Black background, light image
In december 2010 toonde ik een studie van de biolumenescente kwal Aequorea cyanea. Dit onderwerp is nu hernomen omdat ik nog sterker een licht beeld tegen een donkere achtergrond wilde laten zien.
December 2010 showed a study of the bioluminescent jellyfish Aequorea cyanea. This subject is now reconsidered because I needed to show more strongly a light image set against a black background.

Community - Individuality
Enlargement of individual organism and pen drawing of colony of Pyrosoma atlanticum (B 620) II, watercolour, (ca. 30x20, 2011) |
The species Pyrosoma atlanticum, known for its bioluminescent properties, is a colony building Tunicate animal. Their length varies from a few centimetres to several meters. Such a colony makes you wonder about the tension between the individual (and privacy) and community. In the nineteenth century however, the analogy between colonies of the lower animal species and the human society contributed to scientific thought, in which there was room for speculation to allow for defending scientific positions.
Groep – Eenling
De soort Pyrosoma atlanticum, bekend vanwege het vermogen tot bioluminescentie, is een manteldier dat kolonies vormt. Zij variëren in lengte van enkele centimeters tot verscheidene meters. Een dergelijke kolonie laat je peinzen over de spanning tussen individu (en privacy) en gemeenschap. In de 19e eeuw was het trekken van de analogie tussen kolonies van lagere dieren en de menselijke samenleving echter onderdeel van de wetenschap, waarin plaats was voor speculaties om wetenschappelijke stellingnamen verdedigen.

Hermit-crab & companion
The Cloak-anemone lives on the shell of the Hermit-crab, that formerly was inhabited by the Whelk
De Mantelanemoon woont op de schelp van de Hermietkrab, waarin voorheen de Wulk woonde.
"It is that unaccounted association of diverse and unrelated creatures, which, if we had not repeatedly seen it, we should not believe; the companionship of the Hermit-crab with the beautiful Cloak-anemone. …
The companion of the Cloaklet … is exclusively a deep-water species. Found on various parts of our coast, it invariably occurs in this association. I believe the Crab in no instance lives without the Anemone, the Anemone in no instance without the Crab. Examples, indeed, do now and then occur, as mentioned by Forbes in which the one comes up in the dredge without the other; but I believe this is only when the rude action of the dredge has frightened the crab, and induced it suddenly to vacate the shell and desert its friend."
(Gosse, 1865, p. 237-238)

Homage to Foucault
Homage to Foucault, mixed media (c. 40 x 30 cm) |
In the N e t h e r l a n d s, we have already since the 1990s the imperative from the administration and supported by the parliament, that artists should concentrate on cultural entrepreneurship. More than before, our present government expands this concept also to cultural institutions like e.g. museums and orchestras.
This may worry us deeply. The economic model may apply to economic activities, but I have reasons to reject this concept when related to the cultural sphere. If artists want to be executives, if institutions prefer to be operated as businesses then it would not concern me. However, it is obvious for those who can see, that they are manipulated to move in that direction.
Business-person is one of the roles (Gestalt) an artist may assume. However, it may be more urgent for him or her to be a priest, a teacher, a prophet, a nurse, a doctor, a clown or a hermit. An artist may also be an artists’ artist, an inspiration to his fellow travellers and colleagues, unnoticed by the audience at large.
We need all these types of artist, and let us not be fooled by the concept that art from an entrepreneurial practice is the only real art with quality.
I feel there is this ongoing process of modelling the arts and the artists into the mould of publicly accepted values, economic orientation and success being at the core of them. It is Michel Foucault (1926-1984) who made us aware of the processes in which humans, their behaviour and expectations are all subject to normalisation. Still, artists are not businessmen by nature, and they need not to comply. They can refuse.
All this occupied me, when I painted this homage to Foucault. It is based on the famous photograph made in Berlin in the late 1970s.

XIX: Black / Zwart
Physalia pelagica, Indian Ink, c 30 x 40 cm (2011) |
I remember the bible with the Doré illustrations, and the plates in the books by Jules Verne. As a child, the pictures in Alice in Wonderland (drawn by John Tenniel), even frightened me. My fascination for the 19th century certainly also includes these “black” illustrations. This triggered the “black” image of the Portuguese man-of-war.

Topografische Atlas Utrechts Archief
De collecties met uitbeeldingen van stadsgezichten en landschappen van het Utrechts archief zijn niet alleen een topografische collectie. Dergelijke afbeeldingen van de tijd voorafgaand aan de fotografie zijn altijd met de hand gemaakt, en de verzameling die als "topografische atlas" wordt aangeduid is dan ook tevens een kunstverzameling. Dit aspect wordt in het verzamelbeleid erkend door ook hedendaagse topografische kunst te verzamelen.
In 1986 en in 1989 zijn door mij gemaakte aquarellen toegevoegd aan de topografische atlas van Utrecht. Bij een recent bezoek aan het Utrechts archief trof ik reproducties daarvan aan in de public access database van het archief. Ik heb van de gelegenheid gebruik gemaakt om een aantal in de opmaak van een “Historische Krant” die ter plekke is samengesteld op te nemen.
Recently I visited the Utrecht City Archives and I was pleased to see that their purchases of topographical works (cityscapes) made by me and acquired in 1986-1989 were in the public access database. I brought the reproductions together in the mock-up of a newspaper made on the spot.

Charles-Alexandre Lesueur in Le Havre
When in France early June, we visited the Muséum d’Histoire Naturelle du Havre (The Museum of Natural History, Le Havre).
It is well known for its collection of early 19th-century paintings by local naturalist and traveler Charles-Alexandre Lesueur (1778-1846).
It is disappointing, that not even a few of this museums most treasured pieces were on show.
But there were living insects demonstrating mimicry which in itself is also quite interesting …

Orchid study in watercolour
The first two weeks of June 2011, I was in Normandy and Picardy, situated in Northern France. “Les orchidees sauvages” was the name of a farm where we stayed, and behind it, there were the orchids flowering. I did a quick study in watercolour of the Pyramidal Orchid, Anacamptis pyramidalis, showing an impression of plant habitus.

Resuming Tiedemannia embryology
This year in February I made studies of embryonic stages of the seaslug Tiedemannia neapolitana. Recently, I integrated the same images in a single piece.
Eerder dit jaar, in februari heb ik studies gemaakt van embryonale stadia van de zeeslak Tiedemannia neapolitana. Onlangs heb ik diezelfde vormen in een werkstuk gïntegreerd.

Preparing for spraypaint jelly
I am preparing for three spray-paint/stencil prints of the three Blaschka jellyfish models that are present in many natural history collections. Therefore, I occasionally refer to these as "the three graces". They are Aurelia aurita, Pelagia noctiluca and Rhizostoma pulmo. The preparatory image of the latter is presented here.

Academic nostalgia. And an illustration too
indian ink and a wash of gouache, 2011, (c 30x20 cm) |

Hierbij een evocatie van de oceanen, en de stijl is illustratief.

Art Nouveau Style
This image in Art Nouveau style is titled “Art Forms of the Galaxy”. This somewhat ironic title recalls Ernst Haeckel’s Art Forms in Nature (Kunstformen der Natur, 1899-1904). Haeckel’s intention was to stimulate the decorative arts to use natural forms.His work is considered to be influential in that respect.
When recently the Blaschka glass animal models were adopted as an audience magnet, the institutions apparently could not help but flirting with Haeckel, Art Nouveau, and Art Forms in Nature. The Tübingen Museum came up with “Artforms of the Sea” (Kunstformen des Meeres) in 2006, and in 2008 the Sunderland Glass Centre promoted “Art Froms of the Ocean”.
Neither of them seriously promoted the art history debate about why the glass animals were art, let alone be Art Nouveau.
So, in order to disinfect my theoretical concepts with irony, I invented “Art Forms of the Galaxy” in 2008.
The previous blog entry shows a drawing in psychedelic style and as this style period owes a lot to Art Nouveau I want now to present this older work.

Jugendstil / Art Nouveau
Dieses Bild im Jugendstil hat „Art Forms of the Galaxy“ (Kunstformen der Galaxis) als Titel. Dieser etwa ironische Titel erinnert an Ernst Haeckels Kunstformen der Natur (Art Forms in Nature, 1899-1904). Haeckel möchte die dekorativen Künste anregen, die natürlichen Formen als Dekoration anzuwenden. Es wies sich aus, dass seine Arbeit in dieser Aufsicht einflussreich war.
Als rezent die Blaschka Glastiermodelle als Publikumsmagnet anerkannt wurden, konnten die Institutionen offensichtlich nichts anders, als mit Haeckel, Jugendstil und Kunstformen der Natur zu flirten. 2006, Das Museum zu Tübingen brachte „Kunstformen des Meeres“, und 2008 beworb Sunderland Glass Centre „Art Froms of the Ocean“ (Kunstformen der Ozean).
Keine der beiden förderten ernsthaft die Kunstgeschichtliche Debatte, warum die Glastiere Kunst seien, oder zum Jugendstil gehörten.
Um meine theoretischen Konzepte so mit Ironie zu desinfizieren, erfand ich 2008 diese „Kunstformen der Galaxis“.
