The upcoming retirement of philosophy lecturer (Maastricht University) and friend René Gabriëls was a fitting occasion to pick up my brushes again.

Joseph Roth in Anno – Das Magazin der Medienjubiläen
One of my drawings has been used to illustrate an article on the 125th birthday of Joseph Roth in Anno – Das Magazin der Medienjubiläen (The Magazine of Media Anniversaries), the periodical publication of the Institute of Communication Science at the University of Bamberg. It presents special media anniversaries and honors birthdays of famous publicists, artists and much more. The article is written by Professor Markus Behmer, the publisher of “Anno”.

Joseph Roth e Stefan Zweig – L’amicizia è la vera patria
A few weeks ago Italian publishing house Castelvecchi Editore asked permission to use one of my drawings for the cover of the Italian version of the correspondence between Joseph Roth and Stefan Zweig, titled “L’amicizia è la vera patria” (Friendship is the true homeland). The book has now been printed and I was very pleased to receive my complimentary copies earlier this week. Check it out through: http://www.castelvecchieditore.com/prodotto/lamicizia-e-la-vera-patria/

Joseph Roth, Sign of the times
De Bedachtzamen (The Thoughtful) is the name of a collective of writers and their homonymous blog. They consider the themes of time and melancholy as their driving force and write about painting, poetry, music and literature; pre-eminently forms of expression in which time and melancholy constantly seep through, according to their manifesto.
For a new blog contribution, an article about Joseph Roth, they asked me if they could use one of my portrait drawings of Joseph Roth. If you’re able to read Dutch or are satisfied to use an online translation service, you can read the article “Joseph Roth, sign of the times” here.![Iamge of magazine De Bedachtzamen - De Bedachtzamen - Joseph Roth, teken van de tijd [2018]](https://rodneyvandenbeemd.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/De-Bedachtzamen-Joseph-Roth-teken-van-de-tijd-20180831iPhone-X-473x1024-640x480.png "De Bedachtzamen - Joseph Roth, teken van de tijd [2018]")
