Description from the seller
Work by artist Jaap Nanninga. It is mixed technique. The work is also painted on the back.
It is signed and dated 1956 in the bottom right
37 x 49 cm without a frame
From a young age Jaap Nanninga (1904-1962) felt drawn to painting and drawing. He initially worked as an advertising designer, but only later in life did he begin as an artist. After travels through Germany and Poland, Nanninga settled in The Hague in 1938. He had studied in Groningen with Hendrik Werkman and Jan Wiegers and after the war in Paris also with Geer van Velde, who encouraged him toward abstract painting; under the influence of Cubism and the abstract art movements in France he began painting abstractly from around 1949.
The people of the young CoBrA group invited him to join their movement, but he deliberately kept his distance. Nanninga was an outspoken colorist who sought a very individualistic and poetic visual language. Eastern mysticism and 'primitive cultures' inspired him. From 1955 he was a member of the Liga Nieuw Beelden. His abstract work possesses a robust formal language with a wonderfully subtle and soft appearance. In January 1962 Nanninga perished in an accident after a visit to Café De Posthoorn in The Hague. His work is regarded as part of the art movement the Nieuwe Haagse School.
Viewing is of course possible. In addition we have our own in-house framers workshop, which is celebrating its 85th anniversary year. Furthermore we employ restorers from the professional association: 'Restauratoren Nederland'. If you would like to use this, of course we would be happy to hear from you.
