List of Shows
HB was particularly noted for his use of "Bieling Blue" a vivid dark blue. In 1917 Bieling founded an artistic group called De Branding (The Surf or The Breakers in Dutch). Other members included Laurens van Kuik, Ger ladage (aka Gerwhl), Bernard Toon Gits, Jan Sirks and Wim Schmacher. Their aim was to exhibit and promote the new modern art in the Netherlands. They had many links with other art groups including De Stijl and Der Sturm. Bieling organized many modern art shows. These shows included paintings by himself and many modern artists including Otto Gleichmann, Kurt Schwitters, Constantin Brâncuși, and Piet Mondriaan. Bieling's work was included in the 1939 exhibition and sale Onze Kunst van Heden (Our Art of Today) at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
