About the Item

Dutch Watercolour classical building portrait by Tineke Goedhart. The painting is signed and dated bottom left and resigned, dated and located on the mount. It is presented in a fine thin gilt frame with a double card mount, under glass. Original trade framing label to the backboard. A very charming watercolour rendition of a fine classical red brick building, the original Town Hall in Breukelen in the Netherlands, so closely associated with Brooklyn in the USA. Goedhart has captured the imposing facade, the classical urns flanking it and the surrounding garden (in real life leading down to a canal) of this typical piece of fine Dutch architecture. The medium of watercolour has given the whole composition a lovely ethereal softness and charm. Breukelen and Brooklyn 375 years Brooklyn celebrated its 375th anniversary on May 21, 2021. On that day in 1646, the first village on the Lange Eiland (in now New York City, USA) was given the name Breuckelen. This created an unbreakable bond between the two places. Today, several street names in Breukelen (The Netherlands) remind us of the settlers who played a role in Brooklyn’s earliest history: Huyck Aertsen, Joris Dircksen, Gerrit van Couwenhoven and Jan Evertse Bout. The first free elections on the island in May 1646 mark the beginning of the connection that has grown from then on. The motto still is: Eendraght Maeckt Maght. Both places happen to have a specific landmark in common: a characteristic bridge.

Dutch Villa- 21st Century Contemporary Landscape Painting by Eric Schutte
By Eric Schutte
Located in Nuenen, Noord Brabant
Introduction to Eric Schutte A publication in the art magazine 'Atelier', made us aware of his work. Very special we found his paintings, square-air paintings where the influences of the weather, the light to a special touch and a very colorful whole. Versatile What we do, when we see an artist's work that appeals to us, is to search for other work. This also applies to Eric. His website taught us that he is very versatile. In addition to paintings, Eric has found a special way of design. With waste plastic, iron and other material he makes the most special installations, commissioned, but also free work. An appointment was made quickly! Eric Schutte lives and works in Ommen, his studio is next to a beautiful mill. At the time of visit it is cold, there is some frozen snow and it is almost dark when I arrive. In the studio it is immediately clear that Eric is busy with everything. Mountains with tubes of oil paint, different donkeys with semi-manufactured paintings, a particularly large pile of waste plastic. Eric is an enthusiastic narrator, besides being an artist, he is a drawing teacher for a few days a week. I can imagine how he knows how to enthuse his students! Eric talks about special assignments that constantly lead to new ideas and new 'free works'. (The free work Eric likes to call 'research'.) For example, a cow, at De Brink in Ommen, produced Eric on behalf of the municipality. He made the cow out of iron. Old iron from all farmers in the immediate vicinity of Ommen. With this old iron he constructed a cow, the iron is particularly visible, but also the cow. Very clever! Environments Eric takes me enthusiastically to his work. The paintings, classical in origin, made with elegant imagination, and the images, beautiful and simple at the same time, and therefore also stimulating to look better. With these paintings Eric is always looking for the edge, during the opening exhibition we have a special work from him. Is it a 6-part, or are it 6 separate paintings of a railway crossing where a train is passing by? Anyway, you keep looking at it. Eric tells about this when I pick up the work: "I see something then, and then I want something with it, and this is it. Yes, otherwise I can not explain it ". Another and special piece during the opening exhibition is also by Eric Schutte. A calf made from almost 2000 yellow ear tags of slaughtered calves and iron. Particularly plastic and very lifelike. Eric Schutte is an artist who makes both conceptual and classical work. Eric himself about this: "The conceptual work consists of a figurative design in which the non-obvious use of materials is part of the imagination. The concept also plays a major role in classical work, but the material (use) is more traditional. I consider making images as a continuous game and research in which the idea and the design are equal and influence each other ". The opening exhibition and the work of Eric that we have kept in stock has been sold for a large part. Particularly enthusiastic and enthusiastic are people who see his work. During the exhibition 'Naar buiten!' We show new work by this special artist. Acrylic paintings made in the snow, outside in the cold. Also a number of works of waste plastic. The artist tells about his painting of a forest made from waste plastic: We make a waste mountain from nature, I make nature from waste again. The work is called biotope, our living environment. Nature, but at the same time, our environment is plastic. If later excavations are made to this time, the main thing that is found will be plastic. We live in the plastic age.
