AWC Going Dutch Sept 2020

AWC and the Arts
by Jane Choy-Thurlow, AWC Member and Mauritshuis Docent
Walking Tour of Old Scheveningen
Walkie Talkies regularly walks the neighborhoods
to Scheveningen, so it will be interesting
to learn a little history about the
area and its inhabitants plus see some hidden
treasures. Contrary to popular belief,
Scheveningen was never an independent municipality;
nevertheless, it has its own coat of
arms and always had a strong identity of its
own. Monique Varma, frequently our docent
during tours at the Kunstmuseum, will be our
guide on this special outing. Please be sure to
wear sensible shoes.

modern and contemporary paintings.
Gwendolyn graduated as a paintings conservator
and art historian from the Institute
of Fine Arts, New York University. The following
year she was awarded the Samuel
Kress Conservation Fellowship at the Van
Gogh Museum and Kroller-Muller Museum,
going on to work at the Rijksmuseum and
eventually setting up her own studio and the
founding of Redivivus in 2010. The studio
undertakes treatments to conserve paintings
by artists such as Jan van Goyen, Anthony
van Dyck, Claude Monet, Mark Rothko and
Jean-Michel Basquiat. The conservators at
Redivivus will show us how they undertake
treatments and technical research on paintings.
With cutting edge devices for the capturing
of microscopic images, infrared and
x-ray imaging, the studio is able to document,
conserve and restore artworks of historic
and aesthetic importance from the past
and present. A second date will be offered if
the number of participants exceeds the limit.
