AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Siep van den Berg
The Thinker
20 x 14 cm unframed
Watercolor and pen
signed
Siep van den Berg began his artistic career as a house and decorative painter in Groningen. In the early 1930s he started an advertising agency and in the evenings took painting lessons at the Academie Minerva in Groningen. In 1932 hard times led to his dismissal, which he used to definitively choose free painting. At first he made expressive-impressionist landscapes in the manner of Jan Altink, from whom he also studied, of which this work is also a wonderful example.
After he stayed in Paris for a period each year from 1947 onward, he began dividing his subjects into angular blocks of color. The French Cubists and Mondrian were his main sources of inspiration. Around 1953 the painter moved to Amsterdam. There, the relationship with reality gradually disappeared from his work and compositions of loose forms in complete abstraction emerged. Siep van den Berg was one of the few Dutch painters to gain renown in the field of this strict abstraction, also referred to as post-war constructivism.
Viewing is of course possible. In addition, we have our own in-house framing shop, which is celebrating its 85th anniversary year. We also work with restorers from the trade association: 'Restauratoren Nederland'. If you would like to make use of this, we would of course be happy to hear from you.
