Description from the seller
Signature: On the back
Artwork dimensions: 22 x 28 cm
Provenance:
- From a private collection
Olav Vorsel (1922–2007) was a Dutch artist who only at the age of 47 chose to pursue the artist’s career, driven by a strong inner need to express his worldview in images. His work, influenced by a troubled youth and intense life questions, consists of expressive paintings with impasto layers in which both social and psychological themes resonate.
Vorsel began his career in the books world, where he worked, among other things, as director of the Van Ditmar publishing house. In the late 1960s he gained the freedom to devote himself to introspective writing and painting. Gradually his paintings transformed from free forms to tight lines and geometric abstraction, a development he documented in detail himself.
Viewing is of course possible. In addition we have our own in-house framing workshop, which is celebrating its 85th anniversary year. Furthermore we make use of restorers from the professional association: 'Restauratoren Nederland'. If you would like to take advantage of this, we would of course be happy to hear from you.
