About the book
For the Gemeentemuseum Den Haag we had a beautiful assignment to design a book for the exhibition of: ‘Van Rembrandt tot Damien Hirst, De anatomische les’. The green color on the front page refers to the green blanket that they use in the operation room nowadays. When you open the book you will find the famous painting of Rembrandt on which a skull is cut open. The next page you will see the whole painting with its background information. The works of art in the book are dissected like the topic revealed.
