Collage & Mixed technique on paper
1989
20 x 20 cm
Good condition
Original work by Jan Cremer. In honor of his exhibition: Jan Cremer as Painter (The Hague period 1958-1962) at Galerie Nouvelles Imges in The Hague.
Cremer has created a fine piece in various exhibition folders.
Jan Cremer, writer and artist, was born in 1940 in Enschede. His father died in 1942, which meant 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 held various jobs, served with the marines, and for some time worked as a sailor on the high seas. In 1958 he took a few months of training at the art academies in Arnhem and The Hague. Cremer lived for a time on Ibiza and left in 1964 for New York. Thereafter he alternated living in America and Europe. As a writer, Cremer instantly became famous with “I Jan Cremer” (1964). It is a rogue novel with sex, violence and adventure. Because of this, the literary value of his authorship was not regarded by everyone as very high. 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. The art of Jan Cremer consists of paintings, graphics and gouaches and sculptures, often depicting Dutch, and also Italian, landscapes in bright colors.
