Van de Schoonheid en de Troost

Season 1 Episode 20: Greetings from Medemblik: Rudi Fuchs

Interview with Rudi Fuchs, art historian (in the study of his home). Fuchs shows various postcards that he has collected over the years and talks about the beauty and comfort of postcards. According to him, they enable people to organize the world. He calls the postcard the primitive echo of works of art and continues to talk about the similarities between postcards and art, Albrecht Dürer and Rembrandt and their staging of beauty, Piet Mondrian, abstract art, Mondrian's 'Victory Boogie Woogie' and the beauty of this work, the comfort that Fuchs seeks in art, among other things, after the death of his good friend and sculptor Donald Judd and the gift of artists to view the world in a certain way.
