Now on show

Dutch Museum MORE is dedicating its summer exhibition to British painter Euan Uglow (1932-2000). This is the first time Uglow’s oeuvre will be showcased outside the United Kingdom. A selection of approximately 60 nudes, portraits, still lifes, landscapes and 20 drawings will provide a unique insight into Uglow’s obsessive search for absolute perception.

For the first time outside of Great Britain. This Autumn, Dutch Museum MORE is organizing a major retrospective For Real. With 75 works by no fewer than 35 artists, the museum puts the best, most fascinating and unexpected of British painting from the interbellum in the spotlight.

With more than 70 paintings, Museum MORE brings a tribute to the work of Jan Beutener (1932). Beutener is a discoverer of things. In his realism, the detail that strikes him is central. A look back at 50 years of artistry.

In honor of Jan Mankes’ centenary, Museum MORE is displaying all Mankes paintings from our own collection in the Garden Room this Spring and Summer, supplemented by beautiful loans. You can then admire about 35 masterpieces by “Holland’s most tranquil painter”.

For the first time in a Dutch museum, neorealistic painting, New Photography and interbellum film will meet in one exhibition. This unique exhibition shows how these three art forms in the Netherlands at the time had a strong affinity.

Happy news! Museum MORE is the first museum in the world to hold a solo exhibition of this fabulous painting coach and cult icon who remains immensely popular to this day.

This summer, Museum MORE is hosting a large-scale retrospective of the work of Konrad Klapheck (born 1935, Düsseldorf). Klapheck is one of the most important and interesting personalities in post-war German art history, as well as an artist of international renown embraced by collectors in Belgium, Switzerland, France, Italy and the USA.

A century ago, Jan van Herwijnen (1889-1965) drew 32 life-size portraits of psychiatric patients in the Willem Arntsz Huis in Utrecht (now Altrecht) in nine months. ‘I had to do that – that was a compulsion I could not escape.’ In 1918-1919 he traveled up and down from his hometown of Amsterdam to the residents of this 'bedlam' to accomplish his mission.

From 10 October 2021 to 23 January 2022, Museum MORE in Gorssel is holding a retrospective of the work of Past Andrea (born 1942), entitled ¿QUÉ PASA?. Born in The Hague as the son of a painter and an illustrator, Andrea is renowned both in the Netherlands and internationally. In his unsettling compositions, he combines global conflicts with “the often problematic relationship between man and women”. Aestheticism and alienation elevate the works above the level of reality. Over seventy paintings and drawings, dating from the 1960s to the present day, are testimony to an artistry that is imaginative and critical in equal amounts.

Until Sunday 8 May 2022

Museum MORE is the first institution in the world to present a large survey of Czechoslovak figurative art from 1918 to 1945. A selection of over 70 works by more than 45 artists sheds a surprising light on the new realism as it flourished in a turbulent region full of diverse ethno-cultural population groups and shifting political forces.
