For the exhibition ‘Matisse to Malevich. Pioneers of modern art’ from the Hermitage some 75 paintings have been selected from one of the world’s finest collections of French painting from the early twentieth century: that of the Hermitage in St Petersburg. Matisse, Picasso and Derain receive special attention, as do Fauvists like Van Dongen and De Vlaminck and their outstanding works in this collection. One of the articles focuses on Kandinsky and Malevich. The exhibition and the catalogue chart the origins of Modernism as an art-historical movement, and the artists’ inspiration when they initiated a revolution in art at the beginning of the last century.

Princely Patrons
This art collection became dispersed long ago, but a comprehensive selection of its finest works has been brought together in 'Princely Patrons'. It describes and displays one of the finest and most extensive collections of seventeenth-century art in the Netherlands. Between 1625 and 1637, stadholder and prince of Orange Frederick Henry and his wife Amalia of Solms built up a collection of paintings, figures, and countless other subjects, fashioned from the most precious and exotic of material, such as gold, silver, porcelain, lacquetwork, mother-of-pearl and rock-crystal. Frederick and Amalia were inspired by their love of art, but the royal ambitions which they cherished for the future of the still young House of Orange also played a major role in their efforts. These were expressed most strikingly in the decor that they commissioned for the imposing residences in and around The Hague.kunst

Ahn Sang-Soo. Dokkaebi.
The Dokkaebi, Korean goblins who have soft spots for pretty girls and hedonistic feasts, thrive in folktales and as gargoyle-like ornamental totems. Throughout Korean history, they have been interpreted as evil spirits, bogeymen or ghosts of the dead, but always phantoms that bewitch, play tricks on, and make fun of human beings with their grim, uncommon powers and strange talents. Some are said to look very much like humans, some like fantastic animals, and some like dragon-esque hybrids. Here, source photographs of traditional representations accompany stark, strikingly tattoo-like black-and-white designs based on them, which are interleaved on glossy pages.kunst
