Description from the seller
Jan Cremer – Tuscany
Limited edition lithograph 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 craftsmanship come together.
Jan Cremer, writer and artist, was born in 1940 in Enschede. His father died in 1942, which meant that Jan’s upbringing fell 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 with foster families 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 wild voyage. In 1958 he briefly attended the art academy in Arnhem and The Hague for a few months. Cremer lived for a time on Ibiza and left in 1964 for New York. Afterwards he alternated living in America and Europe. As a writer, Cremer became instantly famous 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 travelogues and plays. Jan 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: 112 x 139 cm
Dimensions of the work without frame: 82 x 111 cm

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