'LE POULDU' OF MEIJER DE HAAN IN KRÖLLER MÜLLER MUSEUM

This afternoon Ineke, Marja and I were standing before the painting 'Le Pouldu' (Ferme Kerzellec) of Meijer de Haan in the Kröller Müller Museum.

In 2013, when I had my exhibition 'Vincent van Gogh and The Beslan Child' in La Chapelle Notre Dame de La Paix (Le Pouldu) I stepped on my bicycle à midi and rode to Ferme Kerzellec hoping to talk to madame Hélène Fontaine (100 years old). I put my bicycle against the wall of the farm and made a drawing. When I returned home, a little 13x18cm painting of this Breton farm was made.

AIRBORNE MUSEUM OOSTERBEEK

On May 31st of this year we visited The Airborne Museum in Saint Mère Église again (the first time, in 2013, it was still allowed to park our T3 Volkswagen before the museum). There was a statue on the square before the church, not yet unveiled.

Today, after admiring the little oilpaintings of Jan Mankes in Museum Arnhem, we walked to The Airborne Museum of Hartenstein: 'Operation Market Garden'. Especially the courage of Kate ter Horst in WWII, The Angel of Arnhem, made a big impression on us.

FLUOR HAARLEM AFTER 58 YEARS

This afternoon I visited the Fluor Nederland (Fluor Schuytvlot) building to see the Kunstlijn Haarlem 2024. In 1966 (58 years ago) I first crossed the threshold of the then striking building next to the Spaarne canal.

In the basement, where once mister Kroes, the former Dutch Army employee used to run the printroom, there are now studios. Did I smell the ink and hear the huge machines rattle?

EXAMIN WWII LETTERS, TO PAINT OR DRAW IN THE ARTBOOK?

To read and examin the WWII letters of my family (Arnold & Sjoerd Baukes van der Schuit), to paint 'Vincent, Gauguin, Meijer and Ilja' or to draw in my Artbook-diary is a difficult choice at the moment because the railway sleeper on top of the iron meadow-window needs repainting in Bretonblue as well. The iron postbox needs to be painted and the painting on the cave-doors of Lénaïk has to be varnished. But . . . the letters, written 80 years ago, are of course priority number 1.
