Description from the seller
Jan Cremer
Technique: Litho
Title: Hearts
Edition/Number: AP
Signed: Yes, handwritten
Sheet dimensions: 46 cm x 66 cm
Condition: In good condition
Jan Cremer, writer and artist, was born in 1940 in Enschede. His father died in 1942, which meant that Jan's upbringing was entirely the responsibility of his mother. Jan's mother, Rosza Csordás Szomorkay, was Hungarian and studied at the conservatory in Budapest. After the war, Jan Cremer was placed in foster families and colony homes by child protection. In the fifties he held various jobs, served with the marines, and worked for a time as a sailor on the high seas. In 1958 he spent a few months studying at the art academy in Arnhem and The Hague. Cremer lived for a while on Ibiza and left for New York in 1964. Thereafter he alternated living in America and Europe. As a writer, Cremer instantly became famous with “I, Jan Cremer” (1964). It is a picaresque novel with sex, violence and adventure. Because of this, the literary quality of his writing was not regarded as very high by everyone. The novel was banned from libraries for a long time. “I, Jan Cremer” appeared in many languages. In addition to novels, Jan Cremer wrote travelogues and plays. Jan Cremer's art consists of paintings, graphics and gouaches and sculptures, often depicting Dutch, and also Italian, landscapes in vivid colours.
