Deceptive masters

This autumn at Ruurlo Castle we will show a selection of works by three masterful painters. The artist Carel Willink (1900–1983) and his contemporaries Raoul Hynckes (1893–1973) and Wim Schuhmacher (1894–1986) were among the very best Dutch painting had to offer in the 1930s and 1940s. Nowadays too, they are frequently mentioned in the same breath as the ‘Magic’ or ‘Neo’-Realists. The trio’s work is linked by the still life, the landscape, a hushed atmosphere and brilliant rendering of materials. Follow their artistic journey from modernism to a deceptive realism.
