  Frederik van Eeden - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Frederik van Eeden (born 1860 in Haarlem, Netherlands; died 1932 in Bussum) was a late 19th century and early 20th century Dutch writer and psychiatrist.
He was a leading member of the Tachtigers, and had top billing among the editors of The New Guide (De Nieuwe Gids) during its celebrated first few years of publication, starting in 1885.
This reflected a trend toward socialism among the Tachtigers; another Tachtiger, Herman Gorter, was a founding member of the world's first Communist political party, the Dutch Social-Democratic Party, in 1909.

 Tachtigers - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Tachtigers
An entirely new style of prose writing was introduced in the remarkable novel Max Havelaar 1860 by the brilliant Romantic Eduard Douwes Dekker, who added to Laurence Sterne's kind of irony a radical unorthodoxy that was nearly a century ahead of its time.
His writing was acclaimed by the young poets known as the Tachtigers, and the journal they founded 1885, De Nieuwe Gids/The New Guide, became the organ of the ‘Movement of 1880’.
A similar quest for renewal among the younger generation in Flanders led in 1893 to the establishment of the journal Van Nu en Straks/Today and Tomorrow, edited by August Vermeylen and others.

 Impressionism (literature) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Influenced by the Impressionist art movement, many writers adopted a style that relied on associations.
The Dutch Tachtigers explicitly tried to incorporate impressionism into their novels, poems, and other literary works.
Much of what we would call "impressionist" literature is actually subsumed into a number of categories, especially Symbolism, with its chief exponents being Baudelaire, Mallarmé, Rimbaud, and Verlaine.

 Reference.com/Encyclopedia/The New Guide
The New Guide (De Nieuwe Gids), first published in October 1885, was the primary literary vehicle of the Tachtigers, a highly influential and widely read group of Amsterdam writers who worked together during the 1880's.
Two of the founding editors and frequent contributors to The New Guide were the poet and critic Willem Kloos, and the poet, novelist, playwright, essayist, and psychiatrist Frederik van Eeden, both of whom are widely regarded today as canonical greats of Dutch literature.
Other prominent Tachtigers' works first appeared in The New Guide, including the literary critic Lodewijk van Deyssel, and the novelist Herman Gorter, who is probably the most widely read Tachtiger.

Abstract - During the years 1891-1893, the Dutch composer Alphons Diepenbrock (1862-1921) contributed a number of essays to the Nieuwe Gids.
By then, the editors of this periodical, started in 1885 as the mouthpiece of a group of young poets, writers and painters now known as the 'Tachtigers', had lost much of their unanimity; they had started to quarrel about artistic and social views.
Diepenbrock took advantage of this situation by drawing attention to his particular ideas, not only on music (a subject neglected by the 'Tachtigers') but on literature and art in general as well, ideas that often deviated strongly from those published earlier in the Nieuwe Gids.

 Witsen
The collection of letters addressed to the painter, engraver, photographer and publicist Willem Witsen (1860-1923), which was handed over by the Witsen House in 1945, is one of the most frequently consulted collections of the KB.
This is not surprising considering that, since Witsen occupied a central position within the "bent van Tachtig", one can come across letters from quite a few literary and artistic lions.
Initially, Witsen received his friends at Ewijkshoeve, near Zeist, but in later years he would entertain in his Amsterdam studio at Oosterparkstraat, which has partly been preserved in its original state.

The said transformations began in the mid 1890's when the first issue of a new monthly called De Nieuwe Gids (The New Guide) was published.
The monthly became a tribune for the young and progressive writers and painters associated in a group called Tachtigers, who proclaimed the primacy of aesthetic values over messages contained in the content.
The two leading centers of Dutch art of the times were located in the Hague, which acquired international significance, and in Amsterdam, where impressionism dominated.

Between 1870 and 1875 he studied during the evenings at the Kampen art school, from 1876 to 1883 at the Amsterdam Academy, and from 1880 to 1881 at the Antwerp Academy.
He became friendly with the writers and painters of the ‘Eighties Movement’ (Tachtigers) in Amsterdam, and from 1883 he painted interiors and street scenes from the Jewish quarter of Amsterdam in contrasting light and dark tones, in a precise style that was indebted to his academic education (e.g.
Around 1885 he produced more individual flower-pieces and landscapes with cattle near Amsterdam and Kampen; the landscapes, in white, deep blue and rich green, had a more spontaneous and emotional character than his earlier work, seen for example in Cattle in the Meadows (at Hattem) (1885–6; Amsterdam, Stedel.
