Rembrandt Rembrandt used the achievements of his teachers, predecessors and contemporaries to develop and realise his own artistic aims and abilities, and it was to these too that he owed his basic artistic impulses. His urge to achieve unmistakable originality led him to overturn aesthetic and thematic conventions; he expanded technique and experimented with the use of colour and forms of etching. Although the art of the past always served him as a starting point, he sought to surpass it by staging works that were both unexpectedly daring and apposite to their subject.‘Well worth reading’ The Spectator‘An impressive accomplishment! *****’ Art Times |

As this collection of his landscape photography attests, over the past 30 years he has used it to capture vast stretches of barren terrain and sleepy backwater towns. The images resemble ready-made sets for his offbeat, melancholic films such as 1984's Paris, Texas. |
