Hello,

I hope this was a good day for Bianca. 

I just saw facebook photos of the flower cards all attached to each other. Looks amazing. I am rarely on facebook and don't really want to be sucked in so is there another place where we can see our flower cards and the exhibit in action? 

I just wanted to ask just in case...

Thanks,

J.

SHOW LODGE WITH ‘FLOWERS’ : text by Paula Kouwenhoven
The former porter’ s lodge of the art workshop Willem II Den Bosch has duly been transformed to an interior showcase for art, a show lodge. There are regular small exhibitions to be seen by artists who use the show lodge.
During the summer months of July and August 2018 a special presentation will be held there with the colourful title:
FLOWERS
A large number of national and international visual artists, not connected to the Willem II, created special cards with flowers as the central topic. In all sorts of forms and colours and different materials. Minimalistic and headstrong cards, to tasteful and realistic.
Flowers are a boosting feast for the eye. The porter’s lodge is filled with such abundancy of flowers it is almost a flower festival. We unintentionally get associated with the flower island Madeira and the Festa da Flor in Girona.
In art flowers always create a festive atmosphere. In 2017 the Grand Palace in Paris regaled us with her exhibition ‘Jardins’ (Gardens) with a survey on floral themes of famous visual artists. We name Claude Monet as the most important painter of flowers and plants. He himself says he owes his pictorial art to flowers. Yet in the same context we can’ t forget the other grand masters such as Van Gogh, Matisse, Renoir, Klimt and Kandinsky.
Even music and ballet are closely linked to flowers. Let’s consider Tchaikovsky’s Flower Waltz and the Danish composer Holger Paulli’s ballet music ‘ Flower Festival in Genzano’.
Also the world’s largest Flower Parade comes to mind, held in Zudert, Van Gogh’s birthplace, on September 2 and 3.
The flower cards in this exhibition all have originated especially for those affected by cancer. It is every artist’s wish that the beauty of each flower’s calyx and crown may give to all the strength, that nature will keep abiding within their soul. Later a selection of cards will be donated to the Vicki Brown House in Den Bosch, where people with cancer can participate in relaxation activities, follow informative lectures and are offered workshops in a homely unpressured atmosphere and a hospitable welcome with a cup of coffee or tea.
The singer Vicki Brown, who died in 1991, also found strength in nature. Not only for herself but also for us who stay behind. She sings:
Time for me to go now, I won’ t say good-bye.
Look for me in rainbows.
Just look for me and love me
as you know I love you.
( translation: Patrizia de Rachewiltz)

Dear J.

Bianca will be very happy to get your beautiful card!

Please, sent it to her!

Hello Bianca,

Vicki's story is beautiful. I'm glad you shared it with us. 

I just spent some time creating a postcard for cancer patients and your exhibit. It's a collage made of cellophane sheets, tissue paper, markers, colored pencil, and magazine pages. 

The thing is it measures around 13cm x 18cm (a little over what you asked for which I had forgotten to check).

Please let me know if you can still use and I will mail it off (I'm here in Los Angeles so it might take a while). 

Thanks,

J. 

PS. If you can't, no worries. I can put it another good use.
