Rembrandt’s Naked Truth
In 2015 Carla van de Puttelaar was asked by the Rembrandt House Museum to reflect on Rembrandt’s nudes. This resulted in the Rembrandt Series, which was exhibited in the Rembrandt House Museum in 2016, alongside an exhibition of Rembrandt’s work.
Carole Wilson Cohn about the portraits from the Women in the Art World Series: ‘Carla van de Puttelaar’s tribute to women is so visceral that each sitter is poised to tell youher story in a way few photographers can accomplish.When I saw her exhibit at Sotheby’s in New York, I was “blown away” by her sensitivity towards each subject. It’s hard to discover the true DNA of a woman’s essence in photography.It’s even harder to combine that and the Art History of the Dutch Masters. But Carla does it with her sensitive eye and extraordinary sense of detail in her photographs.Her work is truly a woman’s view of women. Unparalleled.’
