Details

Signed on the back by Hugo Kaagman. This painting was made by him on the occasion of the making of a larger work in 2011 in the port of Ooltgensplaat, commissioned by the province of South Holland and the then municipality of Oostflakkee. That involved a painting on the wall in the harbor and painting the inside of the historic weighing house at that harbor. This weighing house is the building that Hugo depicted in this painting. The work in the harbor portrays the history of the village of Ooltgensplaat and was created on the basis of memories and stories of many villagers with whom Hugo Kaagman had conversations especially for this project at the time.
