About the Book

Isidore van Kingsbergen (1821-1905) is sometimes described as the "sleeping beauty" of nineteenth-century photography, because his remarkable body of work has never been presented in its entirety. Yet he was a flamboyant artist who appeals to the imagination. For the first time, this publication gives a broad overview of the exceptional qualities of this photo pioneer. Van Kinsbergen became famous for the almost four hundred photographs he took of Java's antiquities at the behest of the Dutch colonial government and the Batavian Society. Detailed research has also brought to light a hitherto unknown part of his oeuvre, including the portraits he made at the courts of Yogyakarta, Surakarta, Bandung, Madura and Buleleng (Bali). In his studio, he used his experience as a theatre director to photograph people from various social backgrounds in an expressive manner. Due to his tireless efforts for new cultural projects, he has also been called as the "soul of colonial artistic life in Batavia." Along with the publication of this richly illustrated monograph, an exhibition of Van Kinsbergen's work was held at the Huis Marseille, in Amsterdam. For the first time, some 140 photographs, albums and other objects from various national and international collections were on display. Together they gave an overall impression of the exceptional qualities of this photo pioneer. The exhibition was held from December 11, 2005 till February 26, 2006 (www.huismarseille.nl). De Nederlands-Belgische kunstenaar Isidore van Kinsbergen was een unieke persoonlijkheid die ooit getypeerd is als de sleeping beauty van de 19de-eeuwse fotografie in Nederlands-Indie. Zijn kwaliteiten als fotograaf waren bij zijn leven al onbetwist en worden nog altijd internationaal erkend. Bovendien was hij een flamboyante, tot de verbeelding sprekende kunstenaar die zijn ervaringen als theatermaker volop in zijn fotografie benutte. Als een van de eerste fotografeerde hij op systematische wijze de belangrijkste oudheden op Java, zoals de Borobudur. Daarnaast heeft hij een unieke serie portretten op zijn naam staan van de vorsten van Bali, Bandung, Surakarta en Yogyakarta en hun entourage. Van Kinsbergen was een veelzijdige en creatieve fotograaf wat ook te zien is in zijn landschapsopnamen en zorgvuldig in zijn studio gearrangeerde stillevens en "volkstypen." Daarnaast was hij zijn hele leven actief in het cultureel-maatschappelijke leven in Batavia wat hem de bijnaam "de ziel van het Europese koloniale en artistieke leven in Batavia" opleverde. Dankzij recent en uitvoerig onderzoek verschijnt nu voor het eerst een rijk geillustreerde tweetalige publicatie (ned/eng) over het werk en het leven van Isidore van Kinsbergen waarin al deze aspecten aan de orde komen. Dit boek verscheen mede naar aanleiding van de grote overzichtstentoonstelling van het werk van Van Kinsbergen, die van 11 december 2005 tot en met 26 februari 2006 te bezichtigen was in het Huis Marseille, stichting voor fotografie in Amsterdam (www.huismarseille.nl).
