Museum Het Schip exhibits lithographs and drawings by Kees Arntzen, focusing on characteristic Amsterdamse School architecture from the Interbellum period (1914-1929). The exhibition uniquely pairs these architectural works with music from the same era, exploring both visual and auditory heritage.
From October 31, 2020, to the end of August 2021, Museum Het Schip presents an exhibition featuring lithographs and drawings by Kees Arntzen (b. 1957). The works showcase characteristic buildings from Amsterdam's Interbellum period (1914-1929), a significant era in architectural history that is also highlighted in the museum's current exhibition on German architect Bruno Taut. A unique aspect of this exhibition, presented in conjunction with a calendar, is the integration of music from the same period. Each calendar page provides information about the featured building and architect, alongside a specific Amsterdam musical piece composed in the year the building was completed. This collaboration with the Leo Smit Foundation aims to revive lost musical heritage, drawing parallels between architectural milestones and contemporaneous compositions, such as Henriëtte Bosmans' Cello Sonata coinciding with the completion of the Spaarndammerbuurt complex in 1919, or Leo Smit's Quintet for flute, harp, and strings performed in 1928 upon the inauguration of the Leeszaal at the Coöperatiehof. Visitors can access these musical pieces via a special link. The exhibition also highlights the art of lithography, a printing technique that flourished during the Interbellum, with the lithographs displayed printed by Steendrukkerij Aad Hekker in Amsterdam.
Calendar, CD, and individual lithographs will be available for purchase at the museum shop or directly from the artist at www.keesarntzen.nl. Further details regarding admission to the exhibition itself are not explicitly provided on this page, but are implied to be part of the museum's general offering.
