Description from the seller
Jan Cremer – Tuscany
Engraving in a limited and signed edition. In this work Jan Cremer imagines the Tuscan landscape with strong, 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 craftsmanship come together.
Jan Cremer, writer and artist, was born in 1940 in Enschede. His father died in 1942, leaving Jan's upbringing 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 families and colony homes by child protection. In the fifties he held various jobs, served with the Marines and worked for a time as a sailor on the high seas. In 1958 he followed a few months of training at the art academy in Arnhem and The Hague. Cremer lived for a time on Ibiza and moved to New York in 1964. Thereafter he alternated living in America and Europe. As a writer Cremer became instantly famous with “Ik Jan Cremer” (1964). It is a picaresque novel with sex, violence and adventure. As a result, the literary value of his writing 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 stage works. Cremer's art consists of paintings, graphics and gouaches and often depicts Dutch, and also Italian, landscapes in vivid colors.
