Description from the seller
Jan Cremer – Tuscany
Limited and signed edition print. In this work, Jan Cremer envisions the Tuscan landscape with strong, expressive lines and a keen sense of rhythm and light. The composition breathes the Mediterranean atmosphere that is so characteristic of his Italian period.
A characteristic graphical 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, leaving his upbringing entirely to 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 welfare. In the fifties he held various jobs, served with the Marines, and for a time worked as a deckhand on the open sea. In 1958 he attended a few months of training at the art academies in Arnhem and The Hague. Cremer lived on Ibiza for a while and left for New York in 1964. Thereafter he lived alternately in America and Europe. As a writer, Cremer instantly gained fame with “Ik Jan Cremer” (1964). It is a picaresque novel with sex, violence and adventure. Consequently, the literary value of his authorship was not regarded very highly by everyone. The novel remained in 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.
