+++
Unbounded - The Life & Work of Giselle Kuster is the first extensive publication on Giselle Kuster (Venlo, 1911–Heerlen 1972). An artist who led a dynamic life in which autonomy seems to have been all-important.
Contributions by the authors James Hannan, Pauline Broekema, Renée Volkers, Madeleijn van den Nieuwenhuizen and Oscar Ekkelboom discuss Kuster’s artistic development and her position with regard to other artists of her time, her eventful life and rich network in Venlo and – during the Second World War – in Leiden, as well as her stay in Indonesia during the War of Independence.
The result is a rich portrait of an artist, gallerist and freethinker who played a significant role in Dutch art in the twentieth century, and who has undeservedly remained unknown to this day.
