Description from the seller
This is an exceptional work by Anton Heyboer, as it is painted on slate – a particularly distinctive and less common support within his oeuvre. The choice of this material gives the work its own character and enhances its robust appearance. The painting aligns both content-wise and stylistically with what we know of Heyboer, with his recognizable vocabulary of forms and his direct, expressive approach. It is precisely the combination of the atypical material and his familiar visual language 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 on the opposite side. Heyboer was born in Sabang, on the Indonesian island of Pulau Weh (north of Sumatra), 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 in Curaçao. There was also a later period in New York. Heyboer 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 taken to a transit camp for foreign forced workers in Prenzlauer Berg (Berlin). He managed to escape and fled traumatically to the Netherlands, where he went into hiding in Vinkeveen and worked as a farm laborer.
Dimensions: 33 x 23 cm
Viewings are of course possible. In addition, we have our own in-house framing workshop, which is celebrating its 85th anniversary. Furthermore, we use restorers from the professional association: 'Restauratoren Nederland'. If you would like to make use of this, please let us know.
