Jan Pluis, Vogels op Tegels en tegeltableaus, 1900 – 2000

Zo lang er in Nederland tegels zijn vervaardigd, behoren vogels tot het repertoire van de tegelschilder. Vogeltegels, met name die uit de zeventiende eeuw, vormen geliefde verzamelobjecten. In de achttiende eeuw werden maar weinig vogeltegels geproduceerd, maar met de negentiende-eeuwse belangstelling voor alles wat Oudhollands was, kwamen de zeventiende-eeuwse vogeldecors opnieuw in productie. In deze publicatie wordt vooral aandacht besteed aan vogeltegels uit de twintigste eeuw uit Makkum, Harlingen en Utrecht. De series konden worden gereconstrueerd dankzij bewaard gebleven sponsen. 96 pagina’s. Uitgever Primavera Pers. ISBN : 9789059973787.

Verbaasd over de weinige hoeveelheid informatie die te vinden is over de architect H.J. Dammermann Jr. ,die zijn eigen woonhuis ontwierp in 1904, startte Yann Martineau een speurwerk naar de door de architect nagelaten sporen in de straten van Den Haag, waaronder veel tegeltableaus.

Gefascineerd door de hoeveelheid gevonden elementen besluit hij de resultaten van zijn onderzoek in 2022 te publiceren ter gelegenheid van het honderdste sterfjaar van de architect.
