Catalogue information
The Gooi artist Astrid Engels (1941) has already had a career as a P.R. consultant and television presenter when she devotes herself fully to painting. Mainly inspired by ancient cultures such as the Egyptian, she creates figurative, colorful paintings that in the distance would remind you of the dreamy world of Chagall, were it not for the fact that Engels is such a typical academic artist, who with great craftsmanship and seductive pictures. has found its way to broad appreciation. Critic Duister wrote an informative explanation, interspersed with anecdotes about the artist and her studio, her travels and her participation in a TV quiz in 1965 etc. Many beautiful color images give a good impression of Engels' work and the text is legible for a wide audience.
