Gerard van Rooy - etcher

Marietje van Winter, Wim Gerritsen, Inemie Gerards, Otto Nelemans, Kees Maaswinkel and Henk van der Haar (eds) Gerard van Rooy, etcher Bound with dust jacket 26.5 x 26.5 cm 194 pp. Nobel series 17 2007 His oeuvre consists of more than 300 prints. He worked almost exclusively in black and white. Van Rooy worked figuratively, but often achieved an almost abstract result. He often combined different techniques on one plate. Among other things, he made a large series of silent, poetic images of simple subjects: a ball of string, a box, a shell, a few feathers. In recent years, his works became more narrative and, for example, there was also room for old children's toys. In the sixties and seventies Van Rooy was part of the Graphic Society De Luis. In the nineties there was a ceramic collaboration with the Utrecht artists Gert de Rijk, Anco van der Haar and Henk van der Haar: Z4. In November 2007, Optima Publishers published a monograph on Gerard van Rooy, Etser, including an extensive oeuvre catalogue. The Centraal Museum in Utrecht organised a survey exhibition on this occasion. In the autumn of 2008, an exhibition on De Luis was on display in the Rembrandt House Museum.
