The world has changed
The Dordrecht Museum’s 20th century works give a good impression of a number of important developments in the art of painting. An icon of this varied cluster is Landschap met vaart [Landscape with canal] by Jan Toorop, one of the most important innovators of Dutch painting in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He was the first Dutch artist to experiment with the pointillism of French neo-impressionists Seurat and Signac. Ferdinand Hart Nibbrig belongs to the same movement. Other important innovators in the collection are the expressionists Jan Sluijters and Charley Toorop, for example. Magical realism is also well represented by painters like Dick Ket, Pyke Koch and Wim Schuhmacher.
