Publisher's Synopsis
Bart van der Leck (1876-1958) became known as a representative of the De Stijl group, although his work never suceeded in bringing him riches and forced him to accept the financial support of H.P. Bremmer for almost 35 years. For those wishing to gain a wider appreciation of van der Leck, a study of the artist's correspondence with Bremmer reveals the thread by which the development of his oeuvre can be followed. The book contains 124 letters, complete with scholarly annotations and a comprehensive introduction.
