May Day! A day of National Resistance. Resist however you are able! In person, through retail, on line.

Jan Sluijters painted the 'The Beggar,' around 1910 when movement and anecdote still formed the main constituent of his paintings. After this period, we can see the action in his work disappear for a few years.
