On The Netherlands Fashion Archive and Netherlands Life Archive are not really collections, but a story that lives. They provide us with rare glimpse into individuals, movements and thought processes that defined and that still define the cultural identity of the Netherlands. At Life of an Artist we want to invite artists and culture enthusiasts to dive into these archives, not only as readers, but also as contributors and participants of an infinite artistic process. They allow us to tip our hat to the past and dream a more inspiring future.
