Description from the seller
Jan Cremer – Tuscany
Engraving in a limited and signed edition. In this work, Jan Cremer depicts 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, which meant that Jan’s upbringing was entirely the responsibility 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 homes and colony houses by child protection services. In the fifties he had various jobs, served with the marines, and worked for a time as a sailor on the open sea. In 1958 he attended some months of training at the art academy in Arnhem and The Hague. Cremer lived for a while on Ibiza and in 1964 moved to New York. Thereafter he lived alternately in America and Europe. As a writer, Cremer rose to fame overnight with “Ik Jan Cremer” (1964). It is a picaresque novel with sex, violence and adventure. Therefore, the literary merit of his writing was not universally regarded as very high 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 travel reports and plays. Cremer’s art consists of paintings, graphics, gouaches, and sculptures, often depicting Dutch and also Italian landscapes in vivid colors.
Dimensions of the work without a frame: 31 x 50 cm
Viewing is of course possible. In addition, we have our own in-house framing department, which is celebrating its 85th anniversary year. Furthermore, we make use of restorers from the professional association: “Restauratoren Nederland.” If you would like to take advantage of this, we would of course be happy to hear from you.
