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.

The Buckingham Palace Changing of the Guard ceremony is a symbolic royal cultural event in London. You should occupy a favorable position in advance. At the appointed time, the guards, wearing red uniforms and bearskin hats, enter the venue to the sound of the military band &quot;God Save the King&quot;. The old and new guards take over their posts. The scene is very shocking. A large number of tourists gather outside the iron gate, vying to witness the changing of the guard ceremony of the royal guard.

Night view

The London Eye is one of the famous landmarks of London. Visitors can take the London Eye to the air and have a bird&#39;s eye view of London. The London Eye turns into a huge blue aura at night, adding to the dreamy temperament of the Thames. When the Thames reflects the blue aura, the London Eye is not only a viewing wheel. It is a revolving London Spirit Monument.

Windsor Castle

The Queen&#39;s favorite palace is very luxurious inside, but you are not allowed to take photos, you can only take photos outside. When I entered, I took a photo but was stopped by the staff. Knowing the daily life of the royal family, Windsor Castle is generally very quiet.
