MAY IT JUST BE BEAUTIFUL?

As an artist, do you always have to innovate and embrace the latest trends? Or can you also stay true to tradition and craft? Piet, c. 1921. Donated by the Jacobus van Looy Foundation Photo: Arend Velsink To the early 20-century artists Kees Verwey, Jacobus van Looy, Otto B. de Kat, Coba Ritsema, JACOBUS VAN LOOY White Pussycat at an Open Window, c. 1895 Jaap Ploos van Amstel and many other Haarlem- Donated by the Jacobus van Looy Foundation Photo: Arend Velsink based painters, this was clear: art simply had to be beautiful.

And although the spirit of the age gave plenty of opportunity for experiment, they consciously continued to paint ‘conservatively’ in the tradition of the late 19th-century impressionists and realists. Just beautiful, or as Kees Verwey put it: “To look is to experience, and the experience is what matters to me.”

And that’s exactly what May it just be beautiful? is about.

HAARLEM HEROES.

OTHER MASTERS

The Frans Hals Museum bears the name of Haarlem’s most famous artist. But the museum is about more than Frans Hals alone. The collection includes works by many other 16th- and 17th-century masters. Long-term loan from 1948. , In Haarlem Heroes. Other Masters the focus is , . Photo: Tom Haartsen Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. Photo: Tom explicitly on these other ‘heroes’ in our collection: OSTADE ADRIAAN VAN The Quack , Judith Leijster, and many others.

Starting out from current themes such as gender, religion and origin and background, the exhibition explores why an artist is sometimes ‘in’ or ‘out’. The combination of old, traditional art with modern and contemporary works of, among others, Jan Sluijters, Jozef Israëls and Louise Ashcroft challenges you to look at art differently and therefore see more.

FRANS HALS. ALL CIVIC GUARD PIECES

No other painter made as many civic guard pieces as Frans Hals. For the first time in over thirty years they can all be seen together at the Frans Hals Museum. Here’s an opportunity to follow Hals’ development as a painter and experience why he is one of the greatest Dutch masters, with his loose touch, his intense use of colour and the liveliness of his portraits.

This unique presentation was made possible thanks to the loan of The from the Rijksmuseum. The only work that was begun by Frans Hals, but finished by . Until this very day there is controversy over who painted

which figure. Take a closer look at the hands, the banners, the collars and the sashes. Can you decide

who painted what?

This presentation is part of the exhibition Haarlem Heroes. Other masters.

World history is all too often first and foremost presented as the legacy of (powerful and white) men. Yet, behind the scenes it was often the women who made the difference. With her impressive installation Guess who’s coming to dinner too? (2017), artist and PATRICIA KAERSENHOUT cultural activist Patricia Kaersenhout (1966) pays a Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner Too?, 2017 – 2019 Installation in De Appel Amsterdam tribute to women of colour who have changed history. Special thanks to the artist and Wilfried Lentz . Photo: Aatjan Renders With large dining tables, richly laid with glassware and embroidered table linens, Kaersenhout creates a modern portrait of these heroines of resistance. Exclusively for the Frans Hals Museum Kaersenhout will add names of currently unknown heroines to the artwork, in collaboration with Haarlem residents.

The Frans Hals Museum is proud to present Guess who is coming to dinner? in an exhibition that features a selection of portraits of women from its own collection of modern and contemporary art. A selection that stimulates you to explore who these women are. Why are they portrayed in this manner? Does it change your way of looking if you know the story of the woman depicted?

AT HOME WITH JORDAENS , – 1645 c. 1640

Where the Northern Netherlands had Frans Hals, and Vermeer, in the Southern Netherlands they had their own Great Three: Jordaens, Rubens and Van Dijk. This exhibition focuses on Jacob Jordaens, with his great flair, worldliness, individuality and The Phoebus Foundation The Phoebus typicalities. JACOB JORDAENS Chirp Folks The Young Sing, The Old Folks

Jordaens made portraits, historical scenes and genre paintings until well into his old age. His next of kin were often a source of inspiration to him. His home served as his showroom and the room where he received his – wealthy – clients was spectacularly decorated with his own work.

Especially for this exhibition a reconstruction of that reception room will be made in the Frans Hals Museum, which enables visitors to feel as if they were ‘at Jordaens’ home’ for a moment, surrounded by many works that have never been shown together before.

In collaboration with the Phoebus Foundation, with the support of Katoen Natie and Indaver.

THE MUSEUM’S ANATOMY

Who decides what art is, or what gets to be displayed in a museum? And whom or what do museums themselves depend on? What role do galleries and collectors play? And where is the artist himself in this story?

The Frans Hals Museum has asked a select number of artists to respond to this kind of questions with new work. In this project we do not shy away from placing critical notes or giving feedback, thereby certainly not excluding ourselves. Among other participants, Simnikiwe Buhlungu, Simon Fuijwara, Marlie Mul, Ahmet Ögüt and Erik van Lieshout took up the challenge.

Expect an inspiring, challenging, perhaps somewhat provocative exhibition.

FACES OF NOORD-HOLLAND

Faces of Noord-Holland is a four-year programme , 2005 ) in which new group portraits are made, inspired by

Gwennie museum collections. For this project, the Frans Hals ( Museum and Amsterdam Museum join forces and expertise and work together with residents, artists and cultural partners in the province of Noord-Holland. KOOS BREUKEL Cosmetic View

A substantial part of the collections of the two museums consists of seventeenth-century (group) portraits, which mainly tell the history of the wealthy and influential. Faces of Noord-Holland sets out to supplement this one-sided image with stories and portraits of current residents of Amsterdam, Haarlem and other municipalities in Noord-Holland, regardless of their wealth and influence. In this way, the past and present are actively linked and new layers are added to the history of the region. 50. Long-term loan from 50. Long-term loan from Faces of Noord-Holland consists of several local / projects and will, among other things, result in , c. 1645 a duo-exhibition in 2024.

FOR FAMILIES There is plenty to do and experience for families. Find out for yourself what it is like to be an artist by doing creative assignments. And use the ‘family booklet’ to discover the smallest details in the largest paintings. During holidays we go the extra mile with fun workshops and other activities for the whole family.

FOR SCHOOLS Students can discover old masters and contemporary art in interactive programs. They are encouraged to look at art differently and thereby see more. In this way they experience that there are different perspectives for looking at art, at each other and at the world around them. We offer a suitable program for every level of education, in which the power of art and how to look are central.
