Os,Henk van & Mariëtta Jansen. — Jong in Groningen. Kunst uit de periode 1945-1975.

Groningen, Groninger Museum & Rotterdam, NAi Uitgevers, [2009]. 128 pp. Col. & b./w. ills. Orig. hardcover (pictorial boards). 8vo. This book is a personal chronicle in which Henk van Os, in cooperation with Mariëtta Jansen, compellingly describes the local flavor of Groningen's cultural life in the 1950s, 1960s, and early 1970s. Far from the international art centers, a generation of artists grew up here in the shadow of De Ploeg, creating highly varied and captivating work: from figurative to abstract, from environmental to land art, and from minimalist to lyrical abstract art. Van Os paints a colorful and sometimes hilarious portrait of his Groningen artist friends and the pioneers of modern art in this provincial city. - Text in Dutch.
