Description from the seller

Jan Cremer – Tuscany
Engraving in a limited and signed edition. In this work, Jan Cremer depicts 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 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 1950s he held various jobs, served with the marines and spent some time as a boatswain on the high seas. In 1958 he briefly attended an art academy in Arnhem and The Hague. Cremer lived for a time on Ibiza and left for New York in 1964. He then lived alternately in America and Europe. As a writer, Cremer became famous overnight with “I, Jan Cremer” (1964). It is a picaresque novel with sex, violence and adventure. Consequently, the literary merit of his authorship was not regarded as very high by everyone. The novel was banned from libraries for a long time. “I, Jan Cremer” appeared in many languages. In addition to novels, Jan Cremer wrote travel reports and plays. The art of Jan Cremer consists of paintings, graphics and gouaches and images often depict Dutch, and also Italian, landscapes in bold colors.

Dimensions of the work with frame: 112 x 139 cm
Dimensions of the work without frame: 82 x 111 cm
