Ad Snijders: Free Painting
A retrospective exhibition on the work of the Eindhoven artist Ad Snijders (1929 鈥� 2010). Snijders was self-taught and started to paint during the years after the Second World War. His oeuvre can be read as a lifelong celebration of freedom. A freedom that was not to be taken for granted, but one that had to be conquered by brush, chalk or pencil every day.
His long career of painting shows the influences of successive movements in art history. Snijders always felt free to process these in his own way in order to create new images. Shifting between different styles, Snijders鈥� oeuvre tells the story of a passionate painter. It also provides us with an insight into the life of an artist during the second half of the twentieth century.
