Literary synopsis In *Child Christopher and Goldilind the Fair* Morris ties his characters closely to the landscape. "These landscapes of Morris, the woods and wells, mountains and shores that recur through his work, are important keys to the man. Cities exist, but it is only outside cities that a man or woman comes to know their self. In direct contact with nature and subject to nature’s, rather than man’s, laws the inner self becomes clear." - Ian Covell, *Dreamer of Dreams*, 2006 [Dreamer of Dreams](http://efanzines.com/Covell/index.htm) [Download book](http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/234)

The M HKA aspires to play a leading role in Flanders and to extend its international profile by building upon Antwerp's avant-garde tradition. The M HKA bridges the relationship between artistic questions and wider societal issues, between the international and the regional, artists and public, tradition and innovation, reflection and presentation. Central here is the museum's collection with its ongoing acquisitions, as well as related areas of management and research.
