New Realists
The New Hague School celebrated its heyday during the 1950s and 1960s. In the 1970s, however, a group of young artists emerged on the art scene in The Hague, they called themselves the New Realists. They were all influenced by Co Westerik, who taught at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague where all members studied. After the academy, the collaboration continued, and they worked in ever-changing compositions. In their work they combined current events with quotes from art history. The works were often of considerable size, and the various artists of the New Realists made their own contribution to the work.
