Description from the seller
Jan Cremer – Tuscany
Woodcut in a limited and signed edition. In this work Jan Cremer depicts the Tuscan landscape with powerful, 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 craft come together.
Jan Cremer, writer and artist, was born in 1940 in Enschede. His father died in 1942, so Jan’s upbringing fell 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 by child protection in foster homes and colony houses. In the fifties he held various jobs, served with the marines and spent some time as a sailor on the open sea. In 1958 he pursued a few months of training at the art academies in Arnhem and The Hague. Cremer lived for a time on Ibiza and left in 1964 for New York. Thereafter he lived alternately in America and Europe. As a writer, Cremer rose to fame with “I, Jan Cremer” (1964). It is a picaresque novel with sex, violence and adventure. Consequently, the literary merit of his authorship was not regarded by all as very high. The novel was banned from libraries for a long time. “I, Jan Cremer” appeared in many languages. In addition to novels, Jan Cremer wrote travelogues and plays. The art of Jan Cremer consists of paintings, graphics and gouaches and often depicts Dutch, and also Italian, landscapes in vivid colours.
Dimensions of the work with frame: 112 x 139 cm
Dimensions of the work without frame: 82 x 111 cm
Viewing is, of course, possible. In addition, we have our own in-house custom framers, who are celebrating their 85th anniversary year. We also work with restorers from the industry association: 'Restauratoren Nederland'. If you would like to make use of this, we would of course be happy to hear from you.
