Nico Eekman (1889–1973) created Boerderij met bomen, an original edition oil painting from circa 1910–1920, depicting a landscape, hand-signed, sold with frame, 49 × 55 cm including the frame, in good condition.
Description from the seller
This early luminist painting in oil on marouflage is by the hand of Nico Eekman. It shows a house tucked away behind tall trees in the front garden. Possibly it concerns a house in Nuenen, where the artist had his studio at the time, although the work also breathes a French atmosphere.
Nikolaas Mathijs Eekman (Brussels, August 9, 1889 – Paris, November 13, 1973) was a Dutch figurative painter and illustrator. He gained fame in France, Belgium and the Netherlands under various names, including Nicolas Eekman, Nico Eekman and the pseudonym Ekma. Eekman was friends with several artists of his time, among them Piet Mondrian.
In his early oeuvre, Brabantian peasant life plays an important role. From memories and impressions of his youth, he created paintings in which reality and imagination come together. Also in this work, it is not so much an exact depiction of a place that is central, but rather a personal and atmospheric evocation of the landscape and the life that inspired him.
