Description from the seller
White Horses - Jan Sierhuis
A colorful, figurative work
After the war, Jan Sierhuis developed into an Expressionist painter, influenced among others by Van Gogh, Matisse and Picasso. Together with Appel, Corneille and Lucebert he found himself at the heart of post-war developments in art.
In 1945 Sierhuis was admitted to the evening program of the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten. In 1947 he was involved with the Group of the Experimenters and in 1948 with the CoBrA group, although he was too young to become an official member. Later, in 1962, he co-founded the Amsterdam artists’ group Groep Scorpio.
In the 1950s and 1960s Sierhuis worked mainly abstractly. Thereafter he returned to the human figure and shifted his attention to figurative themes such as dancing figures, portraits and landscapes. He spent many summers in Spain, where his passion for flamenco had a strong influence on his work. This dance embodies everything that characterizes his painting: color, emotion, movement and rhythm.
