“"We don’t remember days, we remember moments."

Parkeston Sub Section

Six years ago, we celebrated those hundred years earlier when the Dutch painter Piet Mulder (1919 - 2001) was born, in Sint Jansteen, on the south-west border of the Netherlands.

Lots of festivities took place. A well-illustrated book was made about his work as a painter: Piet Mulder – Schilder van het Betuws landschap (De Weideblik, 2019), and more than 10 exhibitions were on show in the Netherlands.

A decade ago in June and July 2015 a large exhibition of 50 of Piet Mulder’s paintings of Harwich and Dovercourt was already on view on all five floors of the High Lighthouse in Harwich (UK).

In an article by Piet Mulders son Reinjan Mulder, the artist and critic himself, explains how and why his father bought in 1975 his studio in England. for more information click on the button below.
