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 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 held various jobs, served with the marines and spent some time as a sailor on the wild voyage. In 1958 he attended a few months of study at the art academy in Arnhem and The Hague. Cremer lived for a while on Ibiza and left for New York in 1964. He then lived alternately in America and Europe. As a writer, Cremer instantly became famous with “Ik Jan Cremer” (1964). It is a picaresque novel with sex, violence and adventure. As a result, the literary quality of his authorship was not regarded as very high by everyone. 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 travelogues and plays. 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: 83 x 112 cm
Viewing is of course possible. In addition, we have our own in-house custom framing workshop, which is celebrating its 85th anniversary year. Furthermore, we make use of restorers from the professional association: 'Restauratoren Nederland'. If you would like to make use of this, we would of course be happy to hear about it.
