Ger van Elk (1941-2014) 'Western Stylemasters' (1991) Signed, dated '91 and numbered 23/50 lower left Titled lower right Published by Art & Project, Slootdorp and Galerie de Expeditie, Amsterdam, printed by Bernard Ruijgrok, Amsterdam Screenprint and photo lithograph on paper in original frame, 79.8 x 50 cm (plate size) / 119.3 x 94.4 cm (frame size) Provenance: - Art & Project, Slootdorp, 1992 - Private collection, the Netherlands Note: In both its title and its depiction, Ger van Elk's Western Stylemasters directly alludes to Rembrandt's famous group portrait of the Staalmeesters from 1662. The glossy varnish, the calculated use of chiaroscuro, and the prominently present collars and cuffs fit our clichéd image of the Dutch 17th century. However, the disruption of traditional composition rules is unmistakably twentieth-century. The two figures are both self-portraits of the artist. Unlike in Rembrandt's painting, they no longer have the task of inspecting the linen. Instead, as critical 'style masters', they represent the members of a typical contemporary 'college of wise men'. This work is also part of several museum collections, such as the MOMA (obj.no. 1013.2007) and Boymans van Beuningen (inv.no. 3174MK). * Please note: condition reports and additional photos are available upon request.

For instance, he created a series of works depicting the Kinselmeer, reminiscent of seventeenth-century seascapes. Eventually, Van Elk proved not to be a strict conceptual purist, but a curious artist who studied the visual traditions of European art. "When you are young, you want to explore your field. Later on, you realize that history repeats itself. When you look at those Flemish Primitives in Bruges, Hans Memling, Rogier van der Weyden: the concentration evident in those works!" - Ger van Elk * Please note: condition reports and additional photos are available upon request.
