ARTISTE PEINTRE 1825-1920
This year is the centenary of the death of Carel Jozeph Grips. This painter, who lived and worked in Vught for most of his life, has a considerable selection of genre pieces, still lifes and landscapes to his name, which are exhibited in several museums. Carel Jozeph was also the patriarch of a Vught family of artists. As such, he schooled his sons Ernst and Frits as painters and his grandchildren Charles, Wies and Pieter made their way into the world of art as well. Carel Jozeph Grips and his family members, however, are only known in small circles. This was the reason for setting up the C.J.Grips foundation.

Policy plan
In 2020 – commemorating the centenary of the passing of C.J. Grips’s – the foundation wants to honour the life and work of this talented painter in a number of different ways.
In cooperation with the municipality of Vught and a number of Vught institutions, the foundation wants to undertake four different activities:
- Publishing a book about the life and work of Carel Jozeph Grips.
- A short documentary about his life and work.
- An exhibition about the painter in the Vughts Historical Museum.
- A professional website for the foundation.
Financial accountability
The foundation was established on 6 December 2019, resulting in an extended financial year. The statement of income and expenditure and a balance sheet have therefore not yet been drawn up. Within the framework of the commemoration year, the foundation will approach a number of funds, institutions and companies for a contribution to the costs of the aforementioned projects. The costs of these projects have been budgeted at over 37,000 euro. The foundation does not yet have equity capital at its disposal. The costs incurred so far, such as the notary costs, are covered by the directors of the foundation.
