Two female artists that both have/had careers in Art, but both not very well known. The reason I present these artists together is the TWEE KIUNSTENARESSEN publication that I now have for sale at www.ftn-books.com. Schoonheyt is know for her Indonesian inspired paintings and large installations with mirrors at the Fodor Museum and Els Timmermans for colorful highly personal paintings and of course that she was married to Peter van Straten with whom she made the illustrated book ” OMA KATTENPIS”. Personally, I prefer the works by Timmermans. The early works depicted in the catalog of the Gemeentemuseum Arnhem remind me in some way of the abstract paintings by Hussem.
