Diana Vandenberg - Part I

[dalaam]

Ходожница Diana Vandenberg, работы 1958-1964 годов. ''... After the last War she was one of a work-group of Dutch artists who called themselves meta-realists because they saw something esoteric about reality and painted it in detail at a time that the Amsterdam art establishment was out to flout all traditions, even the best ones. Dutch detailed painting reached its zenith between the two world wars, when an air of doom dominated the atmosphere. Diana and those of her bent returned to a vision of reality as the living garment of the Godhead. Their belief that man and cosmos are one can be seen in their paintings. Through all this, Diana was faithful to the Dutch tradition of detailed painting, distinguishing herself from the other Gnostic painter Piet Mondriaan, whose theosophical inspiration broke new ground in international abstract art..." from Artodyssey
