    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COBRA_(art_movement)

    The architect Aldo van Eyck, who would later become known for his architecture of playgrounds as cultural critique, was asked to do the interior design of the exhibition. The close relationship between Van Eyck and the artists from the CoBrA, who also drew their inspiration in particular from children's drawings, makes it probable that much of ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structuralism_(architecture)

    The term "aesthetics of number" is introduced by Aldo van Eyck in the architectural magazine Forum 7/1959.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constant_Nieuwenhuys

    The architect Aldo van Eyck was commissioned to shape the exhibition. The works of art as well as the way they were presented give rise to harsh critique from press and public.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dresden_Triptych

    Van Eyck's Mary is here monumental, but less overwhelmingly large than in 13th century works. She is disproportionate to the architecture in her panel, but approximately proportional to the figures in the wings. This restraint evidences the beginning of van Eyck's mature phase, most evidently seen in the composition's "greater spatial depth". [27]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portrait_of_a_Man_with_a...

    [7] [8] Art historian Till-Holger Borchert praises van Eyck's recording of the man's stubble "with painstaking precision; nothing is idealised." [ 2 ] Yet it is interesting to consider such an idealised portrait in the context of a betrothal portrait, where the intended bride's family most likely had not met the man and are dependent solely on ...

  9. Madonna of Chancellor Rolin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madonna_of_Chancellor_Rolin

    Artists like to oppose the symbolic birds, the dichotomy between good and evil: Van Eyck, in the panel of the Chancellor Rolin, will also use the peacock and the magpie. [5] The interior has complex light sources, typical of van Eyck, with light coming both from the central portico and the side windows.
