IN THE SPOTLIGHT: Welcoming the Rijksmuseum: Jacques Villon

In its annual presentation in the Van Gogh Museum, the Rijksmuseum will show a selection of works by Marcel Duchamp’s ‘unknown’ brother Gaston Duchamp, who went by the pseudonym of Jacques Villon. Jacques Villon was a painter and graphic artist whose legacy includes almost 700 prints in addition to paintings. From 1950 onward his work earned international acclaim and his prints became popular collector’s items. The presentation features a range of graphic techniques that Jacques Villon used, such as etching, aquatint, drypoint engraving and lithography.

The Amsterdam Graphic Studio offers a special workshop and tour focusing on several techniques that Villon used in his work.

Enrolment at the information desk in the central hall.

Workshops at 18:15-19:00 and 19:30-20:15.
Tour: 20:15-20:45
