Frans Stuurman

Rail Yard, 2007

How wonderfully reassuring: a home overlooking a rail yard. And then to paint that! Carriage, depot and sheds ‘pose’ as in a still life. The spacious foreground and a compelling left diagonal increase the viewing distance between us and the streetcar. Dull brick red is the only colour accent in the ... otherwise drab, urban-industrial setting. Stuurman is sparing with details; there is not a person in sight. Quite understandably, after a day of public transport a streetcar wants to be on its own for a while. Text: Chris Reinewald From: Museum MORE: 100 jaar realisme, 2020, Gorssel
