The world of Madelon Vriesendorp

This publication reveals for the first time a significant - and near secret - corpus of work notable for its wild diversity. Though Vriesendorp is best known for her seminal cycle of anthropomorphic architectural paintings, her extensive "art of generosity" embraces bad taste, pop, "playground surrealism" and the touching beauty of culture´s failed objects. Here, enlightenment emerges from distraction, whilst seriousness must surrender to the non-serious.
