Photographic Links to Golden Age of Dutch Painting
From the review of Dutch Seen: New York Rediscovered at the Museum of the City of New York
One of the most satisfying series produced for the show is Wijnanda Deroo's photographs of New York restaurant interiors. Ms. Deroo upholds the great tradition of Dutch interiors, but in her own way. She is a vivid colorist whose images of Tavern on the Green in Central Park, Milon Indian restaurant in the East Village and Papaya Dog in Midtown showcase their wild, garish décor and remind you of Dutch industrial designers who favor similar retina-burning hues.
