Kustlijnen
€ 24,90
In Kustlijnen neemt Bert Looper ons mee op een tijd- en ruimtereis door de wereld van de Friese kunst. Niet de kunst in musea, maar de kunst die in onze omgeving aanwezig is. Kunst die het verhaal van Friesland vertelt. Zo reizen we van het Leeuwarder ziekenhuis naar de Dokkumer raadzaal, van de kerk van Boazum naar de Stellingwerven en van Oostmahorn naar Mildam.
Ga mee op reis door een periode van duizend jaar en ontdek hoe achter elk kunstwerk een wereld schuilgaat. Wie zijn die Friezen eigenlijk: Europeanen, Friese Europeanen, Europese Friezen? Die voortdurende identiteitsvraag maakt de Friese kunst bijzonder en van landelijk en internationaal belang.
Bert Looper (1957) was van 2007 tot 2021 directeur van Tresoar in Leeuwarden. Hij publiceert boeken en artikelen over Friese geschiedenis, cultuur en kunst.

Victor Horta and the Frison House in Brussels
€ 19,90In the middle of the Lebeaustraat in Brussels, sandwiched between neo-Renaissance and neo-Gothic houses, stands an Art Nouveau jewel designed by Victor Horta: the Frison House. It was
commissioned by Maurice Frison, a lawyer and friend of the architect, and was built in 1894-1895. Horta designed not only the house, but also all its furniture and decoration, right down to the smallest detail: from door handles to marble fireplaces, from mosaic floors to elegant banisters, from wall lamps to the gratings for the cellar openings. The absolute eyecatcher is the winter garden, whose elegant design allows soft yellow light to flow subtly into its perfectly proportioned space.Nupur Tron is the author of this book and owner of the house. In recent years, she has breathed new life back into Horta’s masterpiece. She pieced together bits of the old chandeliers she found in one of the cellars. She had items of furniture designed by Horta lovingly restored. With great passion, she continues to search for the funds that will allow her to restore the entire house to its former glory, one step at a time.
Horta and the Frison House in Brussels is an ode to the architect and his creation.
Nupur Tron is from India. She studied Design, Marketing & Merchandising and Fine Arts at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York. She designs jewellery, in which the different styles of east and west meet in harmony.
