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 reinforces its robust appearance. The painting aligns content-wise and stylistically with what we know of Heyboer, with his recognizable formal language and direct, expressive approach. Precisely the combination of the atypical material and his familiar imagery 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 salesperson 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. After that followed 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 in the context of the Arbeitsdienst and taken to a Durchgangslager for foreign forced laborers in Prenzlauer Berg (Berlin). He managed to escape and fled traumatized to the Netherlands, where he lived in hiding in Vinkeveen and performed agricultural labor.
