Amersfoort painter Albert Fiks (1908-1945) reached his artistic peak in the period 1930-1940 with his cubist and abstract still lifes. Unfortunately, the painter did not grow old. He died of blood poisoning at the age of thirty-seven. Nevertheless, Fiks left behind a versatile oeuvre. From this, guest curator and Fiks expert Onno Maurer selected works that depict the painter's search for his own style. Together with Renske van der Linde - Beins, Maurer published the monograph Albert Fiks - The rediscovery of a versatile talent in 2007.
