THE LOUISIANA BOOK - Rineke Dijkstra
A true master of modern portraiture, the large-scale photographs and videos by Dutch artist Rineke Dijkstra (1959 - ) are brilliant studies in identity, vulnerability and dignity. She is one of the most prominent and internationally recognized artists in the field of photography and video portraiture. Her large-scale photographs display a rare sense of humanity, empathy and intimacy without a trace of sentimentality or indiscretion. She usually captures her subjects at moments of transition or vulnerability, focusing on themes of identity. Although thoroughly modern, even timeless, her portraiture evokes the great masters of the golden age of Dutch art. Published on the occasion of exhibitions at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art (Denmark) from September 21 to December 30, 2017 and at the De Pont Museum in Tilburg (Netherlands) from March 10, 2018 to July 22, 2018.
