Raw Art on Paper

A new publication has been published featuring the work of Dutch photographer and poet Gerard Petrus Fieret (The Hague 1924-2009).

Fieret was one of the most prominent photographic personalities in post-war Dutch art history. With a unique, autonomous, and powerful visual language, he offers a surprising time frame of the cultural revolution of the 1960s. His unique, raw, black-and-white photographs are radical and original, free from cliché.

In this book with selected photographs from a private collection, designer Van Zoetendaal offers a powerful overview of Fieret’s remarkable photographic oeuvre. Fieret’s beloved themes, such as women, street scenes, children, animals, and self-portraits, are arranged like a graphic novel. A monumental addition to the previously published books by this versatile artist and a valuable tribute to the “enfant terrible” of Dutch Outsider Art.
