This fragment from the Polygoon Journaal [Newsreel] contains images of Van Dongen during the opening of an exhibition in 1937. He speaks, as he describes it himself, with a whisky voice, thanks to an excessive use of Dutch coffee.</p> <p>This Polygoon Journaal is about the opening of a retrospective exhibition of Kees van Dongen in Boijmans Van Beuningen Museum in 1967. Van Dongen was a familiar face in the museum. Works by him had been purchased before the Second World War.</p> <p><a href="http://artbabble.org/video/boijmans/opening-exhibition-kees-van-dongen-1967" target="_blank">read more</a></p> http://artbabble.org/video/boijmans/opening-exhibition-kees-van-dongen-1967#comments Kees Van Dongen Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen http://artbabble.org/sites/default/files/bvideos/d7/d7a8661678f263d3/poster-image-02.jpg d7a8661678f263d3 Wed, 18 Nov 2009 11:16:18 +0000 Boijmans.educatie 5907 at http://artbabble.org
