AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Early work of Jan Sierhuis

After the war, Jan Sierhuis developed into an expressionist painter, influenced by, among others, Van Gogh, Matisse and Picasso. Together with Appel, Corneille and Lucebert, he found himself at the heart of the post-war developments in art.

In 1945 Sierhuis was admitted to the evening program at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten. In 1947 he was involved with the group of the Experimentelen and in 1948 with the CoBrA group, though he was too young to become an official member. Later, in 1962, he co-founded the Amsterdam artists’ group Groep Scorpio.

In the fifties and sixties, Sierhuis mostly worked abstractly. Afterwards he returned to the human figure and shifted his focus to figurative themes such as dancing figures, portraits and landscapes. He spent many summers in Spain, where his passion for flamenco had a great influence on his work. This dance embodies everything that characterizes his painting: color, emotion, movement and rhythm.

Size of the work with frame: 78 x 83 cm
Size of the work without frame: 65 x 70 cm

Viewing is of course possible. In addition we have our own in-house framers, celebrating their 85th anniversary year. We also use restorers from the professional association: 'Restauratoren Nederland'. If you would like to make use of these, we would of course be happy to hear from you.
