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 by child protective services in foster homes and colony houses. In the fifties he held various jobs, served with the marines, and spent some time as a sailor on the high seas. In 1958 he spent a few months at art academies in Arnhem and The Hague. Cremer lived for a time on Ibiza and left for New York in 1964. Thereafter he alternated between living in America and Europe. As a writer, Cremer instantly became famous with “I, Jan Cremer” (1964). It is a picaresque novel with sex, violence, and adventure. As a result, the literary merit of his work was not considered very high by everyone. The novel was kept out of 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 bright colors.
