Otto B. de Kat en tijdgenoten

The exhibition Otto B. de Kat and contemporaries

Featuring works by Jeanne Bieruma Oosting, Wim Oepts, Kees Verwey, and others, this exhibition showcases the highlights of De Kat's painting career. By including works from contemporaries who also sought to capture the ‘soul of things,’ his oeuvre is presented in a broader context. Paintings by Jeanne Bieruma Oosting, Wim Oepts, and Kees Verwey demonstrate that while De Kat had a distinctive style, he was also part of a larger movement.

While Dutch avant-gardists were in a constant state of revolution, De Kat and his peers formed a strong and steady undercurrent. Detached from time and place, this art possesses a universal power of expression that continues to inspire and move modern audiences.
