* A lavishly illustrated monograph about Dutch painter Jaap van den Ende * Published to accompany an exhibition at Museum Prindenhof Delft & Gallery Akinci, Amsterdam, October 15, 2024 This monumental monograph is dedicated to Dutch painter Jaap van den Ende (Delft, 1944). In richly illustrated chapters, four authors illuminate the development of a multiform oeuvre spanning almost six decades. Starting in the 1960s as a purely abstract, 'systematic' painter, figuration reluctantly made its appearance in the mid-1980s. For Van den Ende, however, these, at first glance very different approaches to painting, are not mutually exclusive. Since the late 1990s, abstraction and figuration have coexisted within the same painting. 'I have started to feel more and more, to strive to be fully present,' says Van den Ende. 'I am not someone who exclusively abstract thinking. I want to touch everything.' Text in English and Dutch.
