Theme
Internationale beeldententoonstelling in de open lucht: Sonsbeek ’55 built upon Sonsbeek ’49 en –’52the lawns surrounding the white villa at Sonsbeek park are once again filled with bronze and stone sculptures by the French Neoclassicists and their Dutch, Belgian and Danish followers, among others.
"(...) again an interesting overview of sculpture since the second half of the last century", it says in the appendix of the catalogue. According to sir Doelman, the focus is now more on recent sculptures. Nevertheless, many well-known sculptors such as Rodin, Maillol, and Moore are again presented. In his introduction, chairman Jan de Goeijen again writes about the nature of Sonsbeek park, which would, thanks to the enrichment with artworks, provide a moment of "soothing rest and intense pleasure".
