Rotterdam, Netherlands.- The Kunsthal Rotterdam in close collaboration with SCHUNCK* and the De Haas family is proud to present “Faith, Love and Nostalgia: Aad de Haas” on view at the museum through March 4th 2012. The exhibition is a major retrospective of the oeuvre of painter and graphic artist Aad de Haas who was born and brought up in Rotterdam although he spent a great deal of his life in the Dutch province of South Limburg. His work can now be seen once again in Rotterdam, the city De Haas felt homesick for throughout his life. The main theme of the exhibition is based around several self-portraits that together provide a delightful cross-section of his richly varied oeuvre and the way in which it developed. His work is characterised by social themes such as religion, suffering, power, temptation and eroticism. In addition to one hundred and ten paintings, the exhibition also comprises graphics, drawings and various household goods that De Haas painted. From religion to eroticism, Aad de Haas considered art and life to be very closely related.
