3. Select the Masterclass Fotografie door Harmen Meinsma.

During this master class, Harmen Meinsma will introduce you to the magical world of (portrait) photography. Together you will first view the exhibition Anton Corbijn MOØDe and he will take you along a selection of his favorite photographs.

Then you will learn about the different aspects and roles involved in making an intriguing portrait photo. During the master class, of course, you will also get to work yourself and assume the roles of the photographer, the stylist and, of course, the person being portrayed. You will be encouraged to find the superstar in yourself!


Harmen Meinsma grew up in a small village in Friesland where he lived with his grandmother. In his teens he got his first camera. Photography allowed him to capture unconventional beauty, celebrate it and in doing so, carve out a place in the world for himself and his friends.

Harmen is inspired by people who do not fit into a conventional mold. He photographs people whose expression of identity is not merely a preference, but for whom it is a neccesity to style themselves expressively. This celebration of the quirky, the unique and the flamboyant characterizes his visual language. “In my work, I shine the spotlight on the misfits and ‘paradijsvogels’ in this world and turn them into icons.”

Harmen Meinsma received his BA degree from the Willem de Kooning academy in 2017, specializing in photography. His work has been exhibited in New York during Photoville and at Kunsthal Rotterdam. In addition, his work has been published in FD Personal, NRC, Vogue Italia and Volkskrant Magazine. Harmen currently lives in Rotterdam.

SOLD OUT

Drawing on glass by Goro Shimano – Workshop for adults

Time: 13.00 – 14.30 AM
Cost: € 7,50 per participant, including materials, coffee & tea (excluding museum entrance).
Sing up for the workshop

  • Click on this link
  • Selecteer your regular entrance ticket
  • Then click ‘Volgende’ and select Workshop Drawing Memories at 13.00

During this workshop, guided by artist Goro Shimano, you will draw portraits on glass with waterproof markers. We start with a short introduction after which you will work in pairs. After a first practise round, you will work on a portrait that becomes part of the mural Drawing Memories on the façade of the museum café. During this workshop, you will learn how to draw an apt portrait using a few simple techniques. By looking closely and focusing on a few appealing facial features, you will be able to capture someone’s person while drawing them. After the workshop you can take the marker home with you, so you can make your own window drawing at home.

About Drawing Memories
During the month of November, a life-size work of growing art will be created on the façade of the Cobra Museum. Drawing Memories is a participatory project by Amstelveen-based artist Goro Shimano (1974). Using museum visitors, volunteers and museum employees as models, he will create a life-size work of art on the facade of the museum café. The result will be a gigantic group portrait of different people, often strangers to each other, connected by one thing; namely, the Cobra Museum.

Good to know
The workshop is given in English and is suitable for adults. Drawing experience is not necessary. You will work partly outside so wear an extra layer of clothing. You will be dry under the canopy. Only in very strong winds the workshop can not take place and will be rescheduled.

Machismo: ways of seeing Picasso

Saturday 23 September

Machismo: ways of seeing Picasso
A conversation about the man, the myth and ‘his’ models.   

The year 2023 marks the 50th anniversary of the death of one of the most famous artists of the 20th century: Pablo Picasso (1881-1973). This summer the exhibition The Other Picasso. Back to the Origin is on show at the Cobra Museum. Next to numerous exhibitions in museums and cultural institutions worldwide celebrating the artist and his work, more and more critical views on the artists personal life and the stereotypical way Picasso portrays women in his work also appear. The artist himself admitted treating them as ‘goddesses or doormats’.

In this context the Cobra Museum organizes Machismo: ways of seeing Picasso. A conversation about the man, the myth and ‘his’ models. During the conversation we’ll talk about Picasso’s image as the archetypical machismo artist and how that is reflected in his work. We’ll also shed light on the women he depicted in his work. Who were they actually and what was the artist-model relationship? And, can we today still view and appreciate his work in the same way as we used to? Can we see his work separately from his personal life and actions that in many cases had disastrous consequences for the women in his life? And is there also something positive to say about machismo behaviour? From various perspectives we’ll cover different ways of seeing Picasso’s work and life.
