Collage & Mixed media on paper
1989
20 x 20 cm
Good condition
Original work by Jan Cremer. In honor of his exhibition: Jan Cremer as painter (Haagse period 1958-1962) at Galerie Nouvelles Imges in The Hague.
Cremer has created a fine work in various exhibition folders.
Jan Cremer, writer and artist, was born in 1940 in Enschede. His father died in 1942, causing Jan's upbringing to be entirely handled by his mother. Jan's mother, Rosza Csordás Szomorkay, was Hungarian and studied at the conservatory in Budapest. After the war, Jan Cremer was placed in foster homes and colony houses by child protective services. In the 1950s he held various jobs, served with the marines, and spent some time as a sailor on the high seas. In 1958 he attended a few months of study at the art academies in Arnhem and The Hague. Cremer lived on Ibiza for a while and left for New York in 1964. Afterwards he lived alternately in America and Europe. As a writer, Cremer quickly rose to fame with “I, Jan Cremer” (1964). It is a picaresque novel with sex, violence and adventure. As a result, the literary value of his authorship was not regarded as very high by everyone. The novel remained out of 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 colors.
