The Eyes of the Master
By Dagmar Thielen
Several books have been written around the artist Evert Thielen, several television broadcasts have been made and numerous newspaper articles have been prepared. Still, the viewer was left without answers to the questions "who is Evert Thielen really?" and "how does one man create so many works of such great size?" The philosophical depth of his monumental polyptychs and the love of craft that radiates from both the technique and the layers of meaning of his paintings suggests that the man behind the work is in possession of a vast aesthetic world of feeling. This emotive, inner universe expresses itself through details of the greatest beauty and succeeds in drawing countless viewers to himself each time.
Dit boek verhaalt in groots detail over zowel de passies en esthetische theorieën van de kunstenaar als over zijn levensverhaal tot nu toe, dat zich in grote mate vertaalt in de op dat moment geschilderde werken en artistieke ideëen. Het lezen ervan brengt de gebruiker tot op de huid van de kunstenaar en zijn denkwereld en leidt hem of haar moeiteloos door het leven van de man achter de soms vijf meter hoge schildersezel.
This book describes Evert Thielen, life and work, in unprecedented detail.
