Koolmees vertoeft bij de mensen
bron beeld: Nederlandse vogelen, wikimedia commens Mijn vroege jeugd bracht ik door op de vierde en hoogste verdieping van een flat in Groningen. Mijn vader had van een bouwtekening een nestkast gemaakt op het balkon. Meteen de eerste voorjaarsochtend bracht een Koolmees nestmateriaal aan: stukjes mos, spinsel, droge graspluimen. Mezen vormen de familie Paridae. De Koolmees is de grotere Parus,…

The official invitation for the BIOTOOP installation at the Haags Gemeentemuseum in 1995. I remember that this was the last exhibition my mother witnessed.aaaa a memorable occasion.
The card design by Gracia Lebbink is superb it is totally different from the invitation that are nowadays used by the Kunstmuseum Den Haag. For me these are far superior with the little embossed yellow rectangle. Simplicity makes these stand out and all are designed in the best of dutch design tradition.

Piet Dirkx weekly The personal classic of all Piet Dirkx publications. Design by Gracia Lebbink. Biotoop is from 1995
As promissed another detail which shows the thick layers of wax paint Piet uses to make his compositions. This painting was discussed earlier in another blog on Piet and has been presented on 3 locations before it finally was part of our collection. Among the locations was the Biotoop project at the Haags Gemeentemuseum.

There is a work by Piet Dirkx that has been with me as long as i know it existed. I first have seen this long multi colored wax painting in Piet’s studio. Later i noticed the same work being a part of BIOTOOP and after our purchase it was one of our favorite works by Piet on our Sijzenlaan location and now, it is still “going strong” as our entrance work of art. The painting has been a part of our lives for nearly 30 years now. Long live ” MUSIQUE ORIGINALE ”

On the 1st of September 2016 i started the “Piet Dirkx daily” with the publishing of a Piet Dirkx cigarbox on each day since. There were over 850 cigarboxes that were once part of the installation Biotoop at the Gemeentemuseum Den Haag. This publication of the collection of cigarboxes has come to an end. That does not mean that the Piet Dirkx daily will not continue. Yes…. it continues ….however the frequency will be different. Every week on Saturday or Sunday a new “classic” Piet Dirkx item will be published, but this time it will be mostly very colorful larger and extreme large items. Drawings, paintings and special publications all other parts of my/our collection will eventually be published.
So it is certainly still not the time to stop, but the name will change and be different of course. the “Piet Dirkx daily” will become the “Piet Dirkx weekly”. Starting this weekend when a new chapter in the Piet Dirkx publications will start. I did not plan it, but there was some real symbolism in this last Piet Dirkx cigarbox no. 855 published .
For all those who are not familiar with the dutch language…on the last box Piet stated …De trein staat stil and positief leven, which means the “train has stopped” and “live positively”. The last few words are maybe the most important to us all. Translated they mean:
Live positively
and on a personal note….Merry Xmas to you all.

Piet Dirkx daily … Christmas edition On the 1st of September 2016 i started the "Piet Dirkx daily" with the publishing of a Piet Dirkx cigarbox on each day since.
