Charlotte Mutsaers

Her work is highly individual, philosophical and inventive and gives equal space to people and animals. On the visual front, she has produced paintings, drawings, collages and graphics. 

Her literary-visual crossovers consist of comics and emblemata. In addition to her novels (De Markiezin, Rachels Rokje and Koetsier Herfst), she wrote three collections of essays (Kersenbloed, Paardejam and Zeepijn) and a collection of poems (Dooier op drift). Mutsaers knows better than anyone what is possible and impossible in both visual art and literature. 

Mutsaers has received the Constantijn Huygensprijs and the PC Hooftprijs for her entire literary oeuvre and the Jacobus van Looy Prize for her literary and visual work.
