Werkman
The life and work of the Groninger artist H.N.Werkman (1882-1945) is incredibly inspiring, even seventy years after his death.
Werkman gave his own connotation to concepts such as ‘abstract’ and ‘figurative’. A book and the exhibition in the Groninger Museum form part of a larger cultural project called 'Werkman 2015'. Here's the programme. The Werkmanjaar (Werkman Year) is a joint initiative of the Werkman Foundation 2015 and the Groninger Museum.

Cy Twombly
Cy Twombly (April 25, 1928-July 5, 2011) was one of America's most important and influential painters of his time. Out of step with the American post-war art movements, his large-scale calligraphic paintings blur the line between drawing and painting. He is said to have influenced younger artists such as Anselm Kiefer, Francesco Clemente, and Julian Schnabel.
