Animals, big and small, are an inexhaustible source of inspiration for artists.
The Hendrick Hamel Museum and the Gorcums Museum Museum joined forces for presentations of the most beautiful contemporary animal art in the Netherlands, on show from 4 October.

The Hendrick Hendrick Hamel Museum Museum looked close to home with work by artists from Gorinchem and its surroundings. Their works together form a colourful parade of animals, in all shapes and sizes and predominantly realistically rendered. A brown bear, cow, sheep, chicken and dog, but also a grasshopper, beetle and fly, they all pass by in Other People's Feathers. In many sizes and techniques: painted, drawn, modelled, cast in bronze or photographed by Alexandra Klimas, Guusje Bertholet, Marco de Paauw, Ernst van Es, Marijke Ravenswaaij and Gerda van de Brug, among others.
