AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Boer, Mique de 1945-06-20 (Weesp). Painter, watercolorist, draftsman. Education: Rijksnormaalschool for Drawing Instructors, Amsterdam, Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten Amsterdam (1962-1966). Active in: Groningen (1966), Son (1975-1988), Den Bosch (circa 1990). Mique de Boer (20-06-1945, Weesp) only entered the public eye with her paintings around her forties. What circumstances forced that late start are not known, but it is clear that she has managed to turn those circumstances to her advantage. Maturity in technical and emotional terms seems to be the main basis of the work. These are large gouaches and a few oil paintings, in which sometimes vaguely, sometimes clearly recognizable human figures appear in a sea of color. They are the radiant colors of silk fabrics, and Mique de Boer uses the full palette in paint and pastel. The whole body of work has a chic, cosmopolitan quality and places itself outside the Dutch domestic interior. Titles such as “is it nice in paradise”, “broken relationship”, “fear for nothing”, “black beauty” and “kimono” reveal an attention to the outward and inner side of the human being. What matters to Mique de Boer are feelings, states of mind, and above all relationships between people. Her theme is not very popular in the visual arts, though it is the most common in literature and film. The combination of a classical painting education, a theme that is unusual in the visual arts but commonplace in other arts, and a personal maturity, makes Mique de Boer perhaps difficult to place within today’s visual-arts offerings, but for that reason by no means less worth knowing.
