De Witte Raaf wants to upholster and inspire the conversation and reflection on visual art in the Netherlands and Flanders. The magazine opts for a problem-oriented and critical approach that does not recognize itself in advance to the codes of a specific scientific specialty, or to one recognizable standard approach. The magazine wants to make room for all possible approaches to visual art. Above all, it wants to revive the public debate about the arts. To this end, De Witte Raaf analyzes the art news in the Netherlands, Flanders and the rest of Europe.
