Curatorial context

From November 9, 2023, through February 11, 2024, Museum Het Schip hosts the temporary exhibition 'Pure Beauty' (Zuiver Schoonheid) by artist Nanna Lea Abigaël de Klerk in its lunchroom. Nanna Lea Abigaël de Klerk grew up in an artistic environment, with a legacy that includes her grandfather Michel de Klerk, a prominent architect. Despite familial artistic talent, her path to becoming a painter was a long and winding one, involving years of pursuing interior design before finding her true calling. Her artistic journey truly began in 1973 with a group of naive painters, leading to successful exhibitions where her work was consistently sold. The 1980s proved challenging for figurative art, causing her to pause her painting ambitions to focus on family and a steady income. However, at age 58, she committed to her art by enrolling in Academy Minerva, graduating in 2002 and fully embracing her life as a professional artist. The artworks displayed in this exhibition are available for purchase directly from the artist.
