Try to find information and a portrait of Chris de Bueger and you will have a difficult time ahead. Because of a publication i bought some years ago ( piece of oil painting on the cover) i started to search fo the artist. No portraits , no text, just some abstract paintings and apiec of canvas ( painting) on the cover of the blue book.

There is only way to find the maker of this book and paintings and that is study the pages and photographs. Paintings are nice abstract paintings and certainly worth viewing and possibly even collecting. and yes…..on one of the photographs there was the signature of the maker. First i read de Buger, but thanks to Google i found that it had te be Chris de Bueger and now the book is availabe at www.ftn-book.com.

A local celebrity in Friesland, but still not known outside this province of the Netherlands is Rienold Postma. Thom Mercuur who initiated the Museum Belvedere was an admirer and he organized several exhibitions with this painter , who is a master in smaller paintings. With a minimal composition he transforms his small works into a work with maximum exposure and effect. Just look at these two examples

left : “a girl struggling with her sweater” and on the Right “Two girlfriend walking on the dyke”. These are examples of his art and i think they are impressive. When you leaf trough the book on Postma ( available at www.ftn-books.com) you will soon experience the power of these small paintings. These are realistic paintings that are on the border of being completely abstract.

The works by Rienold Postma can be seen at the Museum Belvedere near Heerenveen.
