Description from the seller
This is an exceptional work by Anton Heyboer, as it is painted on slate – a particularly unusual support within his oeuvre. The choice of this material gives the work its own character and intensifies its robust appearance. The painting is content-wise and stylistically in keeping with what we know of Heyboer, with his recognizable visual language and direct, expressive approach. It is precisely the combination of the atypical material and his familiar imagery that makes this work special.
Anton Heyboer (1924 – 2005) was a Dutch painter and etcher. He lived with four women in a commune in Den Ilp (Landsmeer). The 'fifth' woman was his art dealer across the street. Heyboer was born in Sabang, on the Indonesian island of Pulau Weh (north of Sumatra), as the son of a mechanical engineer. Five months after his birth, the family moved to Haarlem, in 1925 to Delft, in 1929 to Voorburg, and from 1933 to 1938 the family lived on Curaçao. Afterwards there was another stay in New York. Heyboer was trained as a mechanical engineer. Even before the outbreak of World War II, the family returned to Haarlem. In 1943, Heyboer was arrested by the Germans as part of the Arbeitseinsatz and transported to a transit camp for foreign forced laborers in Prenzlauer Berg (Berlin). He managed to escape and fled traumatized to the Netherlands, where he went into hiding in Vinkeveen and performed agricultural labor.
Dimensions: 33 x 23 cm
Viewings are, of course, possible. In addition we have our own in-house framers, who are celebrating their 85th anniversary this year. Furthermore we use restorers from the professional association: 'Restauratoren Nederland'. If you would like to make use of these services, we would of course be happy to hear from you.
