Description from the seller
Jan Cremer – Tuscany
Silkscreen print in a limited and signed edition. In this work Jan Cremer portrays the Tuscan landscape with powerful, 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, which meant that Jan’s upbringing was entirely in the hands of 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 families and colony homes by child protection. In the fifties he had various jobs, served with the marines and worked for a time as a sailor on the wild voyage. In 1958 he attended a few months of study at the art academy in Arnhem and The Hague. Cremer lived for a time on Ibiza and moved to New York in 1964. Afterwards he lived alternately in America and Europe. As a writer Cremer became instantly famous with “Ik Jan Cremer” (1964). It is a picaresque novel with sex, violence and adventure. As a result, the literary value of his authorship was not regarded very highly by all. The novel was kept out of libraries for a long time. “Ik Jan Cremer” appeared in many languages. In addition to novels, Jan Cremer wrote travelogues and stage works. The art of Jan Cremer consists of paintings, graphics and gouaches and often depicts Dutch, and also Italian, landscapes in vivid colors.
Dimensions of the work with frame: 38 x 45 cm
Dimensions of the work without frame: 28 x 36 cm

Furthermore, we use restorers from the professional association: 'Restauratoren Nederland'. If you would like to make use of this, we would of course be happy to hear from you.
