Gerrit van Bakel: 1942–1984. La Pensee Figurative/ Gerrit van Bakel: 1942–1984. Het voorwerpelijke denken

The catalog is dedicated to the artist, furniture designer and the first Dutch representative of kinetic art Gerrit van Bakel. According to the authors, van Bakel considered painting as a conceptual vector for the production of his machines, using them to interpret nature and the socio-political context. An interview with the artist Dr. Hans Beltman, a physicist, shows his deep interest in the scientific and technical field and provides some clues as to his ideas on art, the divine, industrial production methods and links combining science and poetry.
