Bloemhof is proud to present a very special exhibition, a one of a
kind retrospective comprising work made by Dutch master, Charles Eyck (1897-1983) during
his 8 months sojourn on the island, in 1952-53, 60 years ago!
He magnificently captured everyday scenes of the hustle and bustle in Punda and Otrobanda, but also the people, the sunsets and life in the countryside.
Charles Eyck enjoyed his stay on the island and that is vibrantly portrayed in this body of work. Most paintings are on loan from local private collections and from the Netherlands, some of the work will be available to purchase.
We hope to
welcome you at the opening on Wednesday November 20th at 7.30 p.m. or any day soon thereafter!
