AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
New book. Signed by Henrik and Paula Kerstens.
A game with early Dutch portraiture. The fascination in the Paula series is that it also concerns aging, child and parenthood. Henrik Kersten’s body of work blends photography and painting, the real and the fantasy, looking and being looked at.
A plastic shopping bag, a vacuum cleaner hose, or a piece of aluminum foil. You don’t need more, it seems, as Henrik Kersten’s photographs imply. A tea‑cup rim becomes a collar, a lampshade a headpiece. He plays with the characteristics of Dutch Golden Age portraiture, in which the everyday was elevated to art. The photos Kerstens took of his daughter Paula to capture her youth have grown into world‑famous icons. The series in which she is central is increasingly about the age‑old game in front of the mirror, with new looks, styles, and roles being tried again and again. Paula, now grown, is the director of her self‑image. And the Kerstens, now a family business, continue to evolve every day."}
