Description from the seller
Two unique drawings by Kees Verwey
Kees Verwey
Village Faces
Charcoal
The works are in a frame; this is mainly for protection and is due for replacement.
Both have a size of 25 x 28 cm
The Haarlem painter Kees Verwey, who became known mainly for his watercolors, was a pupil of H.F. Boot and of the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam under J.H. Jurres. He painted and watercolored almost exclusively flowers, portraits and still lifes from his studio, which had become famous for its enchanting chaos. Verwey regarded his style as a continuation of the Hague School and the Amsterdam impressionists, who placed “everything in a transparent light.” He regarded the watercolor as the medium par excellence of the impressionists. However, he combined this impressionism with the colorful expressionism of the modernists.
