 Dutch artist Hugo Kaagman adorns his site with an array of images and animations whose palette of Delft blue and white evoke his country's history. The shuttling between traditional symbols, such as windmills and animals, and radically contemporary ones, an Internet Explorer icon and a rollerskate, is matched by an old-fashioned, canvas-like interface that features clickable animations. Though the blue and white site is formally precious and appealing, many of its animations are rooted in a sense of irony about the cliches of historic official culture. Also, net art collectors will be happy to know that Kaagman's works are for sale. Details, in blue and white, on the site. -- Rachel Greene

 We think you'll like Hugo's tribute site as much as we did. Trippy stuff and very, very cool. posted by Wooster on Saturday, March 01, 2003

This week I discovered your site and I like it very much. Today the name Hugo Kaagman came up in my mind. Hugo Kaagman is one of the first stencil artists in Holland I know. I saw his work years ago on the streets of Amsterdam when I was visiting the city with my parents. It was at that time when Punk was major. I think his work was one of the first spraypaintings I saw on the street canvas. Enjoy his site and great music:-) see you. keep up the good work. SCT©2003
