...made his success with portraits, but Rembrandt preferred to paint religious subjects, which failed to interest Calvinist Amsterdam. Before his death, Rembrandt devoted 600 known drawings, 80 etchings and 160 paintings to Biblical subjects. Living with his common-law wife, Hendrickje Stoffels, and his ailing son Titus in a ghetto garret, pitied by some and scorned by others, the fat old man was working joyfully, devotedly and profoundly for the ages. Among his inspirations was the warm and simple faith of the Mennonites. who taught direct recourse to the Bible, and the mystical writings of Jacob Boehme, who constantly employed...

He moved to Duesseldorf because ''it has a certain dynamism, factories going up every day," and began the independent career that led him to decisively abstract sculpture.

...assortment of percussion instruments -with a passion and vigor that left his audience breathless. Standing spiderlike on the podium, he raised clenched fists or clawed the air with splayed fingers, setting the hall alive with the violently percussive rhythms, the clipped vocal phrases, the primary colorations that once made his ritualistic evocation of a peasant wedding such a shocking piece of musical theater.
