Collected Works\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eis a richly illustrated body of work covering the artist’s oeuvre of the past years. Initially, van de Pavert became known for his sculptures, his early works referred to architecture and resembled parts from buildings, such as windows and doors. An example is the 1987 work\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eInversion\u003c\/em\u003e: the work is a door and doorpost folded inside out, for which an original door and doorpost were used as a mould.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLater, the artist decided to use these architectural elements in films as well and eventually started using computer animations. As this developed, he focussed more and more on murals. In an interview he justified this as follows: “I could put an entire exhibition in one film. While I was working on that, I decided to add murals to the spaces. I asked myself the question: if these spaces were covered with murals, what kind of iconography would they show? What would muralism, like Diego Rivera’s, look like in this day and age?”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA central topic in van de Pavert’s drawings is the development of figuration. He took historical paintings originating in earlier centuries as his starting point, asking himself: what do these works mean to our world right now? The themes he developed in response to this question play an important role in the publication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStarting in the 1990s, he began working on watercolours that served for computer animated films. The representations in those watercolours were about the avant-garde movements and the political left. Later, he focussed more on youth, the 1960s and 1970s and the idea of freedom. In 2013, these murals were executed on large scale for the first time for an exhibition at Art Centre De Appel in Amsterdam. 20\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ecentury avant-garde clearly lives on through the artist’s oeuvre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eISBN 978-94-92852-78-6\u003cbr\u003eAuthor Jan van de Pavert, Mark Kremer\u003cbr\u003eEditor Eleonoor Jap Sam \u003cbr\u003eTranslation Kate Eaton \/ Woordwaarde, Robert van de Walle\u003cbr\u003eGraphic design Studio Remco van Bladel i.c.w.
