AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Anton Heyboer – “Holy Life”
In Holy Life, Anton Heyboer shows how art and life were inextricably linked for him. For Heyboer, art was not decoration, but a spiritual quest. His work is full of symbols, lines, and signs that refer to human existence, relationships, and the structure of life itself.
Anton Heyboer (1924–2005)
Because of his unconventional lifestyle, Anton Heyboer belonged to the most eccentric Dutch artists of the past decades. His turbulent lifestyle manifested itself in five marriages. He also described himself as 'the Robin Hood of the art world,' referring to his prolific output. Heyboer was trained as a mechanical engineer. After World War II he began drawing, albeit still in a traditional style. Between 1954 and 1957 he developed his own philosophical framework on which his abstract artworks were based. Yet there are always figurative elements present in his paintings and etchings. Additionally, Heyboer clarified the themes of his work with texts, in which human relationships often play a role.
Dimensions of the artwork with frame: 73 x 103 cm
Dimensions of the work without a frame: 62 x 92 cm
