AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Jan Cremer – Barbarism Painting
In Barbarism Painting, Jan Cremer presents his early, unbridled painting style. With powerful brushstrokes and an expressive visual language, he emphasizes spontaneity and energy. The work reflects his aversion to academic rules and his search for artistic freedom.
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, leaving the upbringing of Jan 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 in foster homes and colony houses by child protection. In the fifties he held various jobs, served with the marines, and for some time worked as a sailor on the high seas. In 1958 he attended a few months of training at the art academies in Arnhem and The Hague. Cremer lived on Ibiza for a while and left for New York in 1964. Later he lived alternately in America and Europe. He became instantly famous as a writer with “I, Jan Cremer” (1964). It is a rogue’s novel with sex, violence, and adventure. As a result, the literary merit of his authorship was not regarded very highly 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. Cremer’s art consists of paintings, graphics, and gouaches and often depicts Dutch, and also Italian, landscapes in vivid colors.
Dimensions of the work with frame: 42 x 32 cm
Dimensions of the work without frame: 25 x 17 cm
Visiting is of course possible. In addition, we have our own in-house framery, which is celebrating its 85th anniversary year. Furthermore, we work with restorers from the sector organization: “Restauratoren Nederland.” If you would like to make use of this, of course we would be happy to hear from you."}
