AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Jan Cremer – Tuscany
Limitated and signed edition relief print. In this work, Jan Cremer portrays the Tuscan landscape with bold, expressive lines and a strong sense of rhythm and light. The composition breathes the Mediterranean atmosphere that is so characteristic of his Italian period.
A characteristic graphic work in which nature, energy and craft come together.
Jan Cremer, writer and artist, was born in 1940 in Enschede. His father died in 1942, so Jan’s upbringing was entirely left 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 the child protection services. In the fifties he had various jobs, served with the marines, and worked for some time as a boatswain on the high seas. In 1958 he attended a few months of training at the art academy in Arnhem and The Hague. Cremer lived on Ibiza for a while and moved to New York in 1964. Afterwards he lived alternately in America and Europe. As a writer, Cremer became famous overnight with “I, Jan Cremer” (1964). It is a picaresque novel with sex, violence and adventure. Consequently, the literary merit of his authorship was not regarded as 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 travel reports and plays. His art consists of paintings, graphics and gouaches and sculpture, often depicting Dutch and also Italian landscapes in vivid colors.
