Description:
Schoorel's tender, graceful paintings guide viewers through an overlooked historical collection and its female founder
In Unsung Eve, Dutch artist Maaike Schoorel (born 1973) creates delicate paintings in soft pastels that contemplate the Willet Holthuysen House and the story of its founder, Louisa Holthuysen. The project provides a unique perspective on Schoorel's practice and the overlooked role women played in founding Dutch museums.
