Description from the seller
Jan Roëde (1914–2007) was a versatile Dutch artist active as a painter, draftsman, illustrator, glass artist, costume designer and writer of stories and poems. During a stay in Paris in 1948 he changed his name from Jan Roede to Jan Roëde, a name he then kept using. His work developed from an abstract style with loose lines and planes to colorful compositions with simplified human and animal figures in expressive, unreal colors. He drew inspiration, among others, from Zen philosophy and the color usage of Maurice Estève. Although his work shared overlaps with the Cobra movement, he declined an invitation to join Cobra because he found the group too rough. Roëde was connected to, among others, the Haagsche Kunstkring, the Posthoorngroep and Pulchri Studio, won in 1968 the Jacob Hartogprijs and exhibited both nationally and internationally. His oeuvre is regarded as part of the Nieuwe Haagse School.
