Dutch Masters in the 21st Century
Dutch Masters in the 21st Century shows a series of important Dutch artists of the moment in their workspaces, seen through the eyes of renowned filmmakers. The look behind the scenes offers insight into the artist's working method, use of materials and ideas about art.
The studio portraits are not strictly informative mini-documentaries, but rather snapshots. The workplace, and what is going on there at that moment, serve as the starting point for the fifteen-minute films. It is not an overview of an entire oeuvre. After seeing these portraits, the artist and his or her work have become more accessible. The project has grown into an extensive series in which many artists have been recorded. We hope that in a hundred years' time these films will still be consulted as historical documents, to see what was happening in the visual arts in the Netherlands at the beginning of the 21st century.
The choice of the artists is determined on the basis of a list drawn up by the Dutch Museums of Modern Art.
With the support of the Mondriaan Fund and the Media Fund.
Producer and editor-in-chief: René Mendel and Michiel van Nieuwkerk.
The movies can be found here: www.hollandsemeesters.info and on YouTube
