Description from the seller
Jan Cremer (1940-2024)
Collage & Mixed media on paper
1989
20 x 20 cm
Good condition
Original work by Jan Cremer. In honor of his exhibition: Jan Cremer as painter (The Hague period 1958-1962) at Galerie Nouvelles Images in The Hague.
Cremer has created a fine piece in various exhibition folders.
Jan Cremer, writer and artist, was born in 1940 in Enschede. His father died in 1942, leaving Jan’s upbringing entirely to 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 homes and colony houses by child welfare. In the fifties he held various jobs, served with the marines, and spent some time as a sailor on the open sea. In 1958 he attended a course at the art academy in Arnhem and The Hague for a few months. Cremer lived for a time on Ibiza and in 1964 moved to New York. Afterwards he lived alternately in America and Europe. As a writer, Cremer rose to fame overnight with “I, Jan Cremer” (1964). It is a roguish novel with sex, violence, and adventure. As a result, the literary merit of his authorship was not universally regarded as high. The novel was kept out of many 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 often depicts Dutch, and also Italian, landscapes in vivid colors."
