Peter Vos, Metamorphoses
7 March – 26 May 2013
In association with the Institut Néerlandais, the Fondation Custodia is staging an exhibition of drawings by the Dutch artist Peter Vos (1935-2010) on the theme of Metamorphoses. Vos was one of the most important draughtsmen in the Netherlands after the Second World War. He felt a strong affinity with draughtsmen of the past and concentrated on subjects and pictorial challenges that are timeless. The works exhibited focus on metamorphoses after Ovid, particularly those in which a bird embodies the final stage, on individual figures from classical mythology who undergo a change of form and on drawings that can be regarded as personal mythology. There will be a fully illustrated catalogue in French and in Dutch, written by the art historians Eddy de Jongh and Jan Piet Filedt Kok, and published by the Fondation Custodia, the Hercules Segers Stiching and THOTH Publishers (Bussum). The exhibition will then travel to the Rembrandt House Museum in Amsterdam.
