“Old Bindings “

Is the title of the book Gerd Renshof published in 2007. Most of its 29 reproductions are of his compositions with old books. In these he achieves a startling range of moods; modern, touching, colourful, quirky, humorous. Each painting has its own quality, its own character. In addition to these the book shows several of Renshof’s other still lifes and his architectural pictures. A concise biography and an essay on his painting techniques complement the images. Texts are in Dutch and in English. The book is hardcover bound, and printed on premium paper. The layout is by the artist, the execution was done by Henk van den Heuvel (mimesis.nl). A production of Christofoor publishers – Zeist.
