Description from the seller
Beautiful Etchings by Co Westerik. The work is signed under the Passe Partout
The Couple
HC
16 x 19 cm without a frame
1966
Co Westerik is best known for his paintings. His output is small; only three to four paintings per year. When making a painting, Westerik starts from an 'idea sketch'. These idea sketches are small drawings, sometimes only a few centimeters long and wide, of sudden ideas, situations that could become a painting. When he has chosen a particular idea sketch, he first determines the dimensions of the painting and then precisely transfers the enlarged idea sketch onto canvas or panel. Westerik then makes an imprimature or underpainting in tempera and paints over it with oil and/or alkyd paint.
