Description from the seller
This is an exclusive work from an early period of Jan Sierhuis (1928-2023). It is oil on canvas.
After the war, Jan Sierhuis developed into an expressionist painter, influenced among others by Van Gogh, Matisse and Picasso. Together with Appel, Corneille and Lucebert he found himself at the heart of post-war developments in art.
In 1945 Sierhuis was admitted to the evening course at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten, which he left after a dispute. In 1947 he was involved with the group of the Experimenters and in 1948 with the CoBrA group, although he was too young to become an official member. Later, in 1962, he co-founded the Amsterdam artists' group Groep Scorpio.
In the 1950s and 1960s, Sierhuis mainly worked abstractly. Thereafter he returned to the human figure and shifted his focus to figurative themes such as dancing figures, portraits and landscapes. He spent many summers in Spain, where his passion for flamenco had a great influence on his work. This dance embodies everything that characterizes his painting: color, emotion, movement and rhythm.
Sierhuis has always gone his own way. Freedom and expressiveness form the through line in his oeuvre.
The work is on display at our gallery. In addition, Art Dumay runs a framery (this year their 85th anniversary) and a restoration workshop. So if you would like to make use of these services, we would of course be pleased to hear from you.
Dimensions with frame: 61 x 52 cm
Dimensions without frame: 60 x 50 cm
