The painting as a stage
By Wim van der Beek
After five years of windstile, Evert Thielen returned to the spotlight in 2011. He claimed in 2005 that the fourth polyptych could be his last, but blood ran where it couldn't go. The artist began work again on a polyptych, which is even more imposing than the masterpieces he created earlier. Due to special circumstances beyond the artist's control, it may never be completed. In addition to the Kafkaesque history of the Bellenhof estate, on which the latest polyptych is based, this book describes surprising developments revealed in over fifty new paintings.
