Tekst achterflap

The centenary of Theo Wolvecamp’s birth (1925-1992) provides a welcome opportunity for
a new monograph on this highly original Dutch painter. Initially a member of the
Experimental Group in Holland and Cobra, Wolvecamp forged his own path and created a
unique body of work. This book features numerous previously unpublished images, mainly
from private collections.
It also includes little-known historical texts by Pim Brummelkamp, Leo Duppen, Ed Wingen,
and others about his profound connection to nature and his often-overlooked spirituality.
In addition, some of Theo’s close friends share warm reflections on his personal life.
An Experimentalist in Isolation stands as a testament to the enduring relevance of Theo
Wolvecamp’s work in 2025, thirty-two years after his untimely passing. [Kees Verbeek]
