Description from the seller
Anton Heyboer – Oermoeder
Oermoeder is a work by Anton Heyboer in which the archetype of the mother figure is central. The work exists in several versions, including etching and painting. In an expressive, almost primitive style, Heyboer portrays the mother as a source of life, strength, and connectedness.
With strong lines and simple, symbolic forms he emphasizes not so much a realistic depiction, but the inner meaning of motherhood. Oermoeder thus aligns with Heyboer’s recurring themes of origin, creation, and human connectedness.
Anton Heyboer (1924 – 2005) was a Dutch painter and etcher. He lived with four women in a commune in Den Ilp (Landsmeer). The “fifth” woman was his art dealer across the street. Heyboer was born in Sabang, on the Indonesian island of Pulau Weh (north of Sumatra), the son of a mechanical engineer. Five months after his birth the family moved to Haarlem, in 1925 to Delft, in 1929 to Voorburg, and from 1933 to 1938 the family lived in Curaçao. Afterwards another stay in New York followed. Heyboer trained as a mechanical engineer. Even before the outbreak of World War II the family returned to Haarlem. In 1943 Heyboer was arrested by the Germans as part of the Arbeitseinsatz and taken to a Durchgangslager for foreign forced laborers in Prenzlauer Berg (Berlin). He managed to escape and fled traumatized to the Netherlands, where he went into hiding in Vinkeveen and performed agricultural work.
Dimensions of the work without the frame: 61 x 71 cm

We also make use of restorers from the professional organization: ‘Restauratoren Nederland’. If you would like to make use of this, we would of course be happy to hear from you.
