ROSA BONHEUR – THE SPIRIT OF ANIMALS at Mesdag Collection in The Hague
A contemporary of the Impressionists, Bonheur preferred an academic style. Her method, the subject of this exhibition, consisted of meticulously studying animals – preferably live and in their natural habitat. The exhibition displays samples of Bonheur’s sketches, small sculptures, oil painting studies, early photographs as well as prints of her studios and successful paintings by other artists.
JOAN MIRÓ Sculptures at Beelden aan Zee
Although best known for his paintings he also, in the later stages of his life, produced many pieces of sculpture . . . He even created tapestry, one of which of which was displayed at the World Trade Center in New York and was one of the most important works of art lost during the 9/11 attacks.
HIIIT INVITES at Theater aan het Spui in The Hague
This was a sampler/preview/ taster, but above all, a celebration of some of the other artists with whom HIIIT works. The theatre with its two large auditoriums and huge foyer area was the ideal location for this mini-festival, being simultaneously an opera house, art gallery and night club during this eclectic and exciting event. And you got a lot for your money with it running for nearly six hours.
AYANNA WITTER-JOHNSON at Korzo in The Hague
Ayanna makes her cello come alive in a way I have rarely heard and I have never seen it played as an accompaniment, in the same way as a guitar, by a solo singer.

Ms Witter-Johnson is no slave to convention – she plays her instrument standing up using any and all techniques available . . .

Scapino Ballet’s OSCAR returns to the stage
This is a reprise of the show first staged in 2022 at Theater Carré in Amsterdam. The choice of venue was significant because the Oscar in question is not Wilde, nor a Hollywood award but Oscar Carré the horse-training impresario who built the theatre in 1887 as a home base for his celebrated circus. Scapino’s Oscar is a hommage, a tribute to the great man.
RICHARD AVEDON at Kunsthal in Rotterdam
Avedon was born in New York in 1923 to a Jewish-Russian immigrant family who were involved in the garment trade on Fifth Avenue. You could say his first job as a professional photographer was during the war when, as a humble private, his job was to photographs thousands of soldiers for their identity cards.
