Description from the seller
Jan Cremer – Tuscany
Limited edition copper engraving in a limited, 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, leaving the upbringing of Jan 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 protection. In the fifties he held various jobs, served with the marines, and spent some time as a sailor on the open seas. In 1958 he attended a course at the art academies in Arnhem and The Hague for a few months. Cremer lived for a while on Ibiza and moved to New York in 1964. 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. Accordingly, the literary quality of his authorship was not regarded as 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 travel reports and plays. The art of Jan Cremer consists of paintings, graphics and gouaches and often depicts Dutch, and also Italian, landscapes in vivid colors.
