Rietveld in several roles
Chairs, designs and architectural documents show Gerrit Rietveld as furniture maker and designer. Compare a working drawing with a finished object and note material and construction.
Bruna and the clear line
Work by Dick Bruna shows how many choices lie behind a simple image. Look at colour fields, line width and repetition without calling children’s book illustration simple as a matter of course.
Caravaggisti and the city collection
Utrecht painters, old art and the historic Utrecht Ship broaden the route. Choose one room that contrasts strongly with design and ask which connection with the city underpins the selection.
