Waar Wij Wonen
Until 31 January 2026 from 10:00 to 17:00
Exhibition
In het Verkade-album Waar Wij Wonen uit 1937 beschrijft Jac. P. Thijsse – dé leukste natuurleraar van Nederland – de natuurlijke geschiedenis van ons land. Uiteraard schrijft hij dat we de natuur moeten beschermen.
Jac. P. Thijsse
Tegelijkertijd is hij geboeid door de technische en economische vooruitgang. Hoewel menselijk ingrijpen schadelijke gevolgen heeft voor de natuur, is Thijsse niet verbitterd: hij blijft enthousiast aandacht vragen voor het behoud van natuur.
Etsen van Karel Wetselaar
Opmerkelijk is dat het Zaanse polderlandschap niet in het Verkade-album Waar Wij Wonen voorkomt. Daarom laten we, naast de aquarellen en pentekeningen uit het album, ook de etsen van de Zaanse kunstenaar Karel Wetselaar (1935-2017) zien. Hij zoekt in zijn werk de stilte en de rust van de natuur. De mens ontbreekt, want zo stelt hij: zij verstoren de rust.
Samen met de originele aquarellen uit het Verkade-album Waar Wij Wonen verbeelden zij de schoonheid en rijkdom van het Nederlandse landschap – van uitgestrekte polders tot grote rivieren en levendige heiden en moerassen.
