Description from the seller
Petenera - Jan Sierhuis
After the war, Jan Sierhuis developed into an Expressionist painter, influenced by Van Gogh, Matisse, and Picasso among others. Together with Appel, Corneille, and Lucebert, he found himself at the heart of postwar developments in art.
In 1945 Sierhuis was admitted to the evening program at 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 was co-founder of the Amsterdam-based artists’ group Groep Scorpio.
In the fifties and sixties Sierhuis primarily worked 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 major influence on his work. This dance embodies everything that characterizes his painting: color, emotion, movement, and rhythm.
Dimensions of the work without the frame: 200 x 150 cm
Oil on canvas
Signed and dated '91' on the lower left
Viewing is, of course, possible. In addition, we have our own in-house framing workshop, which is celebrating its 85th anniversary year.
