Under the title robe bleu, fond rouge, (the title refers to a painting by Henri Matisse), Vooijs has made a very personal choice of painting from several generations. besides established names, also work by Marion van Rooij, who passed away in 2019. This classmate of Vooijs worked in her studio for 40 years but never exhibited her work.
