Who was Anton Heyboer really? Was he an outsider who did not fit into society, a media genius with eccentric but harmless behaviour, or perhaps a brilliant artist struggling with the demons in his head? In a fascinating lecture, Heyboer expert Ruud Lapré will take you through Heyboer's fascinating life and explore why we can consider Heyboer a 'genius outsider'.

In his essay 'Anton Heyboer: Geniale Outsider', Lapré elaborates on this topic. During the lecture, he explains the significance of Heyboer's oeuvre in further detail.

Ruud Lapré was a professor of healthcare policy and healthcare economics at Erasmus University Rotterdam for more than 20 years. In 2020, Lapré published the book Exist in me, about Anton Heyboer's early work. Additionally, he is the author of numerous monographs on art and artists.
