Architect en kunstenaar Michel de Klerk, inspirator van de Amsterdamse School

Rate this book
Michel de Klerk was de grote inspirator van de Amsterdamse School, de Nederlandse expressionistische beweging in de architectuur. Behalve een virtuoos architect was hij ook een groot kunstenaar. 'De Rembrandt onder de architecten' tekende, schilderde, ontwierp meubels en interieurs. De Klerk creëerde een vernieuwende vormentaal en bracht schoonheid naar de arbeider. Dit boek toont de veelzijdigheid van zijn werk aan de hand van rijk beeldmateriaal en citaten van De Klerk zelf en van zijn tijdgenoten.

I knew nothing about the Amsterdam School before visiting the Museum Het Schip on the last afternoon of my vacation to Amsterdam. I was immediately struck in the same way as the 20th-century architecture critic J.G. Wattjes, who said of this Romantic-Modernist style: "What grand, monumental massing and what meticulous, loving details." I purchased the English translation of this book in the Het Schip bookstore. A few months later, I have enjoyed both the text and copious illustrations, which do an excellent job of describing the work and influence of the Amsterdam School's principal figure, Michel de Klerk.
