Willem Hussem (1900-1974) was a renowned Dutch artist & poet who continuallyexperimented and produced highly diverse works of art, including painting, drawingand sculpture. A constant aspiration towards simplicity and purity underlies hisentire oeuvre. It was in Zen Bhuddism that he found the intellectual basis for theuniversalistic outlook on the world that would determine his thought and work.
Throughout his life Hussem was in search of a manner of working that tied in withhis philosophical views. In poetry, he found this in short lyrics, while in art he initiallyfound it in a style that steered a middle path between expressionism andconstructivism, and finally in geometrical abstraction.
This exhibition is the fourth exhibition in VITRINE’s gallery collaboration programme in the Bermondsey, London, space. The show coincides with a presentation of Hussem’s work by Dürst Britt & Mayhew at TEFAF Maastricht 2024.
During his lifetime Willem Hussem had solo exhibitions at Gemeentemuseum in DenHaag, Museum Het Princessehof in Leeuwarden and Stedelijk Museum in Schiedamand participated in major group exhibitions in Museum Boijmans van Beuningen inRotterdam, Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven and Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam. Healso exhibited twice at the Carnegie International in Pittsburgh, US. In 1960 WillemHussem represented The Netherlands at the Venice Biennial.
After Hussem’s death in 1974, the ‘Hussem Committee’, which consisted of influentialartists, art historians and museum directors, kept his legacy alive. Retrospectiveswere mounted at Museum Boijmans van Beuningen in Rotterdam, Centraal Museumin Utrecht, Rijksmuseum Twenthe in Enschede, Museum Dordrecht and MuseumBelvedere in Oranjewoud.
Willem Hussem’s work has recently been shown at PS Project Space in Amsterdam,Artissima in Turin, Museum Jan Cunen in Oss and Proyecto Paralelo in Mexico City. In2021 Dürst Britt & Mayhew mounted a retrospective at Pulchri Studio in The Haguewith loans from museums, corporate and private collections.

May you go to this millennium, the Temple of Knowledge. This is definitely a reason to go to the UK, the British Museum, you see thousands of times more than you can think. Teacher Diana&#39;s 3-hour explanation was great, thanking her professionalism for letting us see the dead artifacts lively.

Westminster Abbey

美好的你看世界

After watching the Buckingham Palace changing ceremony, we arrived at Westminster Abbey. There were a lot of people in the queue, about an hour and a half before entering the church. There is a interpreter at the door, you can choose Chinese. Follow the team and the interpreter is also explained. My favorite is the Matisse-style painting window. The staff in the church is very high quality and the temperament is very good, which is awe-inspiring.

I thought it was a special ride on the Ferris wheel, but the London Eye made me hit the face! When the capsule reached the highest point, I suddenly understood why the British love to chat. The Thames, Big Ben and the debris building look like they are shining in the sun, and it is really different every day. After landing, I found that the photos were all taken as glass reflections. Forget it, leave some regrets to be true.

Windsor Castle

The Queen&#39;s favorite palace is very luxurious, but it is not allowed to take pictures. It can only be taken outside. When entering, a photo was taken and was stopped by the staff. Knowing the life of the royal family, Windsor Castle is generally very quiet.
