This week I visited Museum Slager for the exhibition of the art of Toon Hermans. He was a famous comedian in the Netherlands and performed a lot. He also enjoyed making paintings, but mostly for himself. So there are not many opportunities to see his art in real life. I really like the softness of his paintings and I have been interested for a while, found a book on his paintings which I flip through now and then.
The Museum itself is small and also has other art by members of the Slager family which are worth looking at. Two rooms were reserved for Toon Hermans. His colour use is very nice and I like looking at how he uses this, for instance in this painting:
He also did another still-life with flowers which was almost all in tones of yellow, a colour I find difficult. I enjoyed being at the exhibition and so close to the real artwork. The exhibition lasts until October 5th.
