Beautiful struck bronze medal by Christina Nijland.
Published by the Association for Medal Art, in honor of the 75th anniversary.
The main form of this commemorative medal is a pentagon created by folding the bottom-left corner of a square. The folded point holds together three partially overlapping disc-shaped forms, each displaying a word from the text "Vereniging voor Penningkunst" (Association for Medal Art). Centrally located on the largest disc, we see the numbers 7 and 5, intertwined and in large format. The folded corner, along its fine bevel, invites a view of the reverse side. The reverse side displays, in generous size, the numbers 1925 and 2000 which, placed at right angles to one another, form the boundary of the area in which the association's emblem is rendered in relief. From Louk Tilanus' book Handzame Sculptuur: Christien Nijland is at home in the modeling tradition of the Rijksakademie. This is clearly visible in her birth medal from 1962 and her Linnaeus from 1978. Gradually, her oeuvre of medals evolved towards a sleeker design; see the welcome medal she designed in 1990 as a board member. What fits more beautifully in a Square than a circle, the symbol of eternity? There were immediately a generous three of them; the number points to the triple silver jubilee. Sans-serif, raised lettering that would fit just as well in the 1920s as it does today. Three medals of different sizes are placed one behind the other like a fan; the seven and the five of the jubilee year are firmly slid into one another. On the smallest, rear medal, on which 'voor' is legible, the letters are solid; the front ones with the year and 'Menningkunst' are open and bold, indicating development. A folded corner—which has turned the square into a Pentagon—invites, along the fine, slanted edge, to view the other side. There, the design is even sleeker; The years 1925-2000 enclose the Association's abstract vignette. The precise finishing of the edge ensures that the design does not feel sharp in the hand. With the rise of the cast medal, the Association's ties with Begeer had loosened; it is a cause for joy that Nijland's design has now been struck by the old company once again. (source VVPK)
