Art

My favourite period in art is the art nouveau, art deco period. Especially the art nouveau from Belgium, with it`s flowing lines. This is (I think) a fire screen, it was standing at the top of the escalator, in the museum of modern art in New York, and it took my breath away. I went down on my knees to take the picture, with people nearly tripping over me but I never noticed.

This looks like a very nice chair, very decorative, but uncomfertable to sit on
Rosenburg porcelain

Rosenburg was a small factory in Holland that produced beautiful porcelain, not really for everyday use but more ornamental. The musuem in The Hague has a fairly large collection, coffeesets with different designs, all very fragile. Oh, how I would love to own something as beautiful as this!
The building of the Gemeente mueum in The Hague is art deco, by the architect Berlage, a beautiful building in his own right.

Mondriaan

Everybody knows this painter, these paintings are easy to remember, colourful and symmetric. His earlier work is also very nice, once I saw a still life with green appels, very pleasing to the eye.
Wall decoration

You can find art in the most unepected places. This is a part of the wall decoration in the ladies room one the top floor at Harrods, London. Very art nouveau.

The Hague has it`s share of art nouveau on the walls of buildings, not as much as Brussels but still, details can be found here and there.

Every year there is a temporary art exhibition on the waterfront in Kijkduin, near Scheveningen This year it is all glass and it looks wonderful in the setting sun.
