Comment: This is a well-written article, but unfortunately almost all of the references used are by Bezold himself, and so there is no claim ofnotability. -- NotCharizard 🗨 10:37, 27 July 2024 (UTC)

John Bezold (born 1985) is an American-Dutch editor, author, and art historian based in Amsterdam.[1] He graduated from the University of Cincinnati College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning in 2007, and from the University of Amsterdam in 2015 and 2017.[2] Bezold is best known for his work in the fields of architecture, art, and design.[3]
His journalism career began with an internship at Frame (design magazine) in Amsterdam, where he authored articles on architecture and design publishing.[4] In 2008, he published one of the first interviews with the designer and researcher Neri Oxman, who at the time established the field of 'materiology'.[5] He was a contributing editor for Mark magazine, covering contemporary architecture, from 2009-2017.[6] From 2009 to 2021, Bezold collaborated with architect Wiel Arets, editing and co-authoring several significant publications on architectural philosophy, designed by Edwin van Gelder, Mevis & Van Deursen, and Irma Boom.[7][8]
In 2016, Bezold was a research fellow at the Mauritshuis in The Hague, receiving a grant to analyze the museum's painting acquisitions.[9][10] From 2019 to 2024, he served on the editorial board of Oud Holland, the world’s oldest art historical scholarly journal, focusing on Dutch Golden Age painting and Flemish painting, as a review editor. He modernized the journal by establishing its online presence and expanding its accessibility.[11]
Bezold hosts the podcast Dutch Art & Design Today, discussing art and design in the context of its relation to the Netherlands.
