“Willem Sanders is a pictor doctus. His paintings are intertwined with philosophy and deeply rooted in a profound knowledge of art history. His work has always unfolded between the two poles of immediate painterly action and theoretical reflection.
Willem Sanders knows the history of painting, and he is accustomed to the paradoxes posed for any painter acting within this context. A fundamental incompatibility complicates the intention of creating something new, innovative and typical of its time, yet aspiring to an ideal of permanence and a sense of presence that transcends the boundaries of history and local tradition.” – Kay Heymer
Full-colour reproductions of imposing yet serene-looking painted land-, sky- and seascapes accompanied by illustrated essays discussing Sanders’ work by Louise O. Fresco, Kay Heymer, Gerrit van den Hoven, Peter Mason, and Lisette Pelsers.
