Description from the seller
Jan Cremer – Tuscany
Engraving in a limited and signed edition. In this work, Jan Cremer depicts 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 his 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 spent some time as a sailor on the high seas. In 1958 he attended art academy training in Arnhem and The Hague for a few months. Cremer lived for a time on Ibiza and in 1964 moved to New York. He then lived alternately in America and Europe. As a writer, Cremer became famous overnight with "Ik Jan Cremer" (1964). It is a picaresque novel with sex, violence and adventure. Consequently, the literary value of his authorship was not considered very high by everyone. The novel was kept out of libraries for a long time. "Ik Jan Cremer" appeared in many languages. In addition to novels, Jan Cremer wrote travelogues and plays. Jan Cremer's art consists of paintings, graphics and gouaches and frequently depicts Dutch, and also Italian, landscapes in vivid colors.
