Document Details : Title: 'Mooi gehaalde eenvoudige letters' en 'zinsverbijsterende verzen' Subtitle: Het gebruik van teksten door gemeenschapskunstenaars Author(s): TIBBE, Lieske Journal: Spiegel der Letteren Volume: 59 Issue: 2-3 Date: 2017 Pages: 321-360 DOI: 10.2143/SDL.59.2.3285108 Abstract : Community Art [Gemeenschapskunst], flourishing in The Netherlands around 1900, had as one of its central issues the collaboration of all arts. Beside architecture, painting, sculpture and the applied arts, also music and literature were welcomed to participate. Here will be analysed if and how the art of literature – in the broadest sense, as written texts – is incorporated in the four most outstanding monuments of Community Art: the painting ‘Procession in honour of the Miracle of the Holy Sacrament’ at the Amsterdam Beguinage Chapel, the wall-paintings in the town hall of ’s-Hertogenbosch, and those in the Exchange Building and the office of the Amalgated Society of Diamond Workers, both at Amsterdam. Beside guide booklets and programs the paintings themselves show names, implicit and explicit references, quotations, and poems made especially to adorn a specific place and to transmit a specific message. A trend towards more and more integration can be discerned. |
