AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Anton Heyboer – Oermoeder
Oermoeder is a work by Anton Heyboer in which the archetype of the mother figure is central. The work exists in several versions, including as an etching and as a painting. In an expressive, almost primitive style, Heyboer depicts the mother as a source of life, strength and connectedness.
With strong lines and simple, symbolic forms he emphasizes not so much a realistic representation, but the inner meaning of motherhood. Oermoeder thus aligns with Heyboer’s recurring themes of origin, creation and human connectedness.
Anton Heyboer (1924 – 2005) was a Dutch painter and etcher. He lived with four women in a commune in Den Ilp (Landsmeer). The 'fifth' woman was his art dealer across the street. Heyboer was born in Sabang, on the Indonesian island of Pulau Weh (north of Sumatra), as the son of a mechanical engineer. Five months after his birth the family moved to Haarlem, in 1925 to Delft, in 1929 to Voorburg, and from 1933 to 1938 the family lived in Curaçao. After that there was another stay in New York. Heyboer was trained as a mechanical engineer. Even before the outbreak of World War II the family returned to Haarlem. In 1943 Heyboer was arrested by the Germans as part of the Arbeitseinsatz and transported to a Durchgangslager for foreign forced labor in Prenzlauer Berg (Berlin). He managed to escape and fled traumatized to the Netherlands, where he went into hiding in Vinkeveen and performed agricultural labor.
Dimensions of the work without frame: 61 x 71 cm
Viewing is, of course, possible. In addition we have our own in-house picture-framing workshop, which is celebrating its 85th anniversary year. Furthermore we make use of restorers from the professional association: 'Restauratoren Nederland'. If you would like to make use of this, of course we would be happy to hear from you.
