Description from the seller
Jan Cremer – Tuscany
A woodcut and screen print in a limited and signed edition. In this work, Jan Cremer portrays 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 held various jobs, served with the marines, and for a time worked as a sailor on the open sea. In 1958 he attended a few months of training at the art academies in Arnhem and The Hague. Cremer lived for a time on Ibiza and left for New York in 1964. He then alternated living in America and Europe. As a writer, Cremer quickly became famous with “I, Jan Cremer” (1964). It is a picaresque novel with sex, violence and adventure. As a result, the literary merit 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 travel essays 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: 38 x 45 cm
Dimensions of the work without frame: 28 x 36 cm
Viewing is, of course, possible. In addition, we have our own in-house framing workshop, celebrating its 85th anniversary. We also 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 from you.
