Today i encountered a small book on Aat Verhaag and his ” model” paintings. Available at www.ftn-books.com
BUt the purchase of the book reminded me of one of the very first art works I purchased. It was an etching by Aat Verhoog which I bought at ARTA in Den Haag. I was impressed with the etching. I can not recall the reasons I was impressed, but fact is the etching is still in my collection so it must have a timeless quality for me personally.
I encountered Aat Verhoog once at the Gemeentemuseum, but never visited his studio. Still I encountered his paintings at auction and I am always interested to see what their auction results are.The little book I have now for sale is dedicated to his model paintings. Posing, Undressing, modelling….they have a Balthus quality about them making these the very best from his impressive oeuvre.
Thank you for your sharing. I am worried that I lack creative ideas. It is your article that makes me full of hope. Thank you. But, I have a question, can you help me?
