The subject…..COWS…. and cows only . All kinds of breeds are painted by Felius who has a career with painting cows of almost 50 years now.  The realistic subject was getting more attention in the mid Seventies after a period of only abstract art which was discussed and shown at the dutch galeries.

Breyten Breytenbach (1939) in the Netherlands

Most people know Breytenbach as a South African poet, but less know him as a painter. Because of the language, dutch and South African are related to each other, Breytenbach had a large following of admirers over here and galeries in the past decades invited him, not only recite his poems , but also to exhibit his works of art. This is the reason why www.ftn-books.com, has some nice publications. Not many , but worth wile to check them out.
