Female Voices
Internationaal Theater Amsterdam is home to more than 150 works of art. From around 1900, the largest permanent theatre collection in the Netherlands has been built up in the Stadsschouwburg, and theatre artists, dancers and opera singers gaze at the audience seeking a seat in one of the auditoria. About 30 works were created by female artists, with big names such as Marlene Dumas, Charlotte van Pallandt and Lizzy Ansingh. The portraits of actors Sophie Pauwels-van Biene and Ernst Tourniaire have hung in the corridors for more than 115 years and were made by the Netherlands' most famous portraitist Thérèse Schwartze (1851-1918).-|-This artist made portraits of wealthy Amsterdam residents, as well as of the young Queen Wilhelmina. How did she look at the two actors she portrayed? Did she, like Rembrandt van Rijn did in the first Stadsschouwburg in the seventeenth century, watch the play of her portrayed subjects?
In this temporary exhibition, Internationaal Theater Amsterdam showcases the works of women artists. Discover how these great artists used their passion and talents to make a visual contribution to the world of theatre. Who they were, what inspired them and how they translated their vision into their works.
