The Patriot Behind the Pot
The Patriot behind the pot tells the story of pottery, people and politics in the Netherlands during a time of great revolutions; revolutions both in a political and industrial sense. This study shows how at the end of the 18th century numerous Dutch people used all kinds of ceramic and glass items in their household as media to convey their political stance in favor of or against the ruling House of Orange. Many of these more than 200 years old politically charged items have been preserved in museum collections. Sporadically, pieces of them are retrieved from archaeological sites as well. Along with dozens of historical sources and hundreds of other ceramic and glass artifacts that were discarded or lost by their former owners in the same archaeological contexts, these fascinating objects with a certain political meaning have been examined in order to understand the material culture of Dutch Orangists and Patriots in the period around 1800. Apart from a thorough study of late 18th- and early 19th-century ceramics and glassware in the Netherlands, this book presents an extensive catalog of politically charged items from the period 1780-1815. This might help archaeologists, art-historians and collectors to recognize and further study these objects of great historical value. This book comprises a Master thesis written by Wytze Stellingwerf. In 2017 he graduated at the Faculty of Archaeology at Leiden University. This thesis was nominated for three prizes, respectively the national archaeological W.A. van Es prize, the Leiden University thesis prize and the IISG prize of the International Institute of Social History in Amsterdam.kinder- & jeugdboeken

Mondrian’s cat
A timeless reading and reading book for young and old about the life and work of artist Piet Mondriaan, in honor of his 150th year of birth. In Mondriaan's Cat you get to know the famous painter Piet Mondriaan. He is best known for his paintings with black lines and red, blue and yellow areas. But he painted more. In this book he and his cat take you through his development as a painter who started in the Netherlands. He then went to Paris and in his last years he lived in New York. Mondrian was fascinated by colors and lines and developed into one of the greatest painters of abstract art. Everyone knows Piet Mondriaan, but his work is difficult to understand. That is why it is all the more admirable that Coen Bouwstra, author and illustrator, succeeds in making the painter's work accessible to the very youngest. In beautiful scenes he shows what moved Mondriaan. Mondriaan paid attention to color and the patterns in the landscape. He moved further and further towards the abstract, culminating in his Victory Boogie Woogie, inspired by Boogiewoogie music.literatuur & thrillers
