herman de vries can truly be called a pioneer, as he, as one of the first artists, doesn't represent nature in his works, but presents it as it appears to us. In his vision, nature doesn't consist of isolated phenomena, but everything is interconnected. This holistic, ecological perspective makes de vries's work anno now more topical than ever.

This publication is published parallel and on the occasion of the exhibition herman de vries. 70 years nature as art at Rijksmuseum Twenthe, Enschede (24 Mau - 9 November, 2025)
