Exhibition in the hall of the Minderbroedersberg 4-6 on portraits of health scientists in the the years between 1997 and 2004

In the years between 1997 and 2004, cartoonist Paul Kusters portrayed a divergent group of academics and staff members from Maastricht University’s Faculty of Health Sciences. Perhaps you know Kusters from his cartoon series ‘Toos en Henk’, which appears in many Dutch newspapers including De Limburger? The exhibited portraits and caricatures of the Health Sciences staff were published in Spectrum, the faculty’s magazine. We invited all those portrayed to tell more about the portrait made of them by Kusters or about the period in which it was made.
We also asked Paul Kusters to look at his series of portraits again and tell more about how he as a cartoonist evaluates them now.
