AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Betty Scheer (Ginneken, May 16, 1941 – The Hague, January 13, 2006)
It concerns a linocut titled "Grote schelp" from 2002
It is printed in an edition of 2 proofs and this is number 1 of 2
Betty Scheer was a Dutch artist.
She made wall hangings, pastels, linocuts and oil paintings.
After her studies between 1959 and 1965 at the KABK in The Hague, she began making wall hangings, mostly featuring animals and plants. Afterwards she made pastels of mainly landscapes and still lifes.
Around 1992 she started making linocuts; initially with a small number of printings, but over time she developed the technique to work in half-tones (see intaglio) and transparencies, so that later work often consisted of fifteen or more printings. Because Betty printed everything by hand, it was very labor-intensive, and the edition size rarely exceeded five copies.
Artists who had a great influence on her include Rein Draijer, her teacher at the academy, and the painters Dick Ket and Morandi with their tranquil compositions. Regarding the more exuberant and colorful side, painters such as Matisse and Rik Wouters had a strong influence on her work. She studied under, among others, George Lampe, Nol Kroes, Willem Schrofer, Rudi Rooijackers and Co Westerik. During her academy years she posed as a model for, among others, Willem Schrofer and Rudi Rooijackers.
