CI005.S1.1925.PR2
Description:
Oud was asked to submit a design for the Paris 1925 Exposition Internationale des Art Décoratifs et Industriels. He agreed on the condition that he could submit five photographs of the Witte Dorp, Tusschendijken and De Vonk buildings. D. Hannema, director of Museum Boymans, also asked Oud to construct a cabinet to submit to the Decorative Arts exhibition as part of Domela Nieuwenhuis' print collection. Cabinetmaker, M. van Dort, built the cabinet that Oud designed; the design featured two separate sections with two doors to each section, each emblazoned with the Museum Boymans monogram (Taverne et al. 2001, 372). Project series includes photographs of the wood cabinet.
