An all time classic style, used from the Greek period to far in the future.
A recent Highlight was the 17th Century when the Dutch and thge Flemish masters brought it to an all time high. Although we live in a time of many fashions, from nihilism to antiques and from eclactic to decoration, time has shown that the classics have revival after revival and although prices fluctuate during transitions the classics always came out brilliantly and sought after.

All art by Jos Kivits

A portrait of an room or office with the books, paper, watch and Delft lidded Tobacco pot, and old long pipe. An allegory of study and contemplation.Just a few objects found in the house of a deceased uncle who was reading the paper while having his last smoke from the Ming tobacco pot (which lid is invisible behind the box.  The box with some small personal trinkets, a small checkered  pill box,  and an empty red glass flower vase, as he was a widower and did not like to see dying flowers in his house anymore. The feeling of holding something in your hands that is hundred of years old, like the pewter and the ceramic Japanese vase, gives me a feeling of agelessness. It vibrates through my entire body and to spend weeks painting something like this climaxes to an explosion in my imagination.
