AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This is an exceptional work by Anton Heyboer, as it is painted on slate—a special and less common support within his oeuvre. The choice of this material gives the work its own character and enhances its rugged appearance. The painting stylistically and substantively aligns with what we know of Heyboer, with his recognizable vocabulary and direct, expressive approach. It is precisely the combination of the atypical material and his familiar visual language that makes this work special.
Anton Heyboer (1924 – 2005) was a Dutch painter and printmaker. 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. Thereafter he spent time in New York. Heyboer 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 Arbeitsdienst and transported to a Durchgangslager for foreign forced laborers in Prenzlauer Berg (Berlin). He managed to escape and fled traumatized to the Netherlands, where he hid in Vinkeveen and performed agricultural labor.
