Description from the seller
This is a painting by Ed Dukkers. Eduard Willem Anton Dukkers was born on May 1, 1923, in Zandvoort and died in 1996 in Amsterdam.
Dimensions: 25 x 32 cm
Dimensions with frame: 41 x 51 cm
Dukkers attended the Institute of Applied Arts Education in Amsterdam and was largely self-taught as a painter. He worked as a painter, draftsman, and lithographer. Initially, he was active in Zandvoort, but from 1940 onwards, he settled in Amsterdam. In 1946, he was selected by Willem Sandberg, director of the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, for the exhibition Ten young painters, which included among others Karel Appel, Corneille, and Rooskens.
Like many artists of his generation, early work by Dukkers shows expressionist tendencies, but he quickly developed a completely unique path. Literary and surrealist themes took precedence, with death, eroticism, and rituals closely intertwined. Since 1956, Dukkers has been a member of the artists' group De Keerkring. In 1952, he received the Tetar van Elven travel grant, after which he made several trips abroad, especially to Greece.
Throughout his entire body of work, the human being is generally central. From around 1985 onwards, his work shows increasing simplification and abstraction.
