Description from the seller
Theo Wolvecamp: (Hengelo, 30 August 1925 - Amsterdam, 11 October 1992).
Abstract Composition, Lithograph, Signed, Dated 89, Numbered, each copy, Sheet size: 42 x 70 cm,
Nicely framed and in good condition.
At a young age Theo Wolvecamp began painting. In 1947 he stopped after two years of study at the Arnhem Academy of Art Practice and moved to Amsterdam. There he became involved with the Experimental Group in Holland and in 1948 with the Cobra movement. In 1949 he was one of the participants in the international Cobra exhibition at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam. In 1950 he worked for six months in Brittany (Pont-Aven). From 1953 to 1954 the young painter worked in Paris.
In 1954 he returned to the relative isolation of his birthplace Hengelo. From Twente he took part in many national and international group exhibitions.
Wolvecamp’s oeuvre can be divided into several periods. Directly after the war, Pablo Picasso’s work made a strong impression on him. Later he became interested in the painter Joan Miró. Furthermore Kandinsky had a great influence on his work. After a Miró-like beginning Wolvecamp created abstract-expressionist works in often dark tones and with thickly applied paint. In his compositions (particularly from 1955) imaginary beings and other figurative elements appear, making them reminiscent of the paintings by the Danish Cobra member Asger Jorn.
His first “modern” exhibition was in Neede and Eibergen, alongside works by, among others, Jan Bolink, Riemko Holtrop, Jan van der Leest and Eef de Weerd. He renewed contacts and friendships with Hengelo painters and met the collecting couple Hans and Alice de Jong, advising them in building their international collection of contemporary art.
