Description from the seller
Early work of Jan Sierhuis
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 the art world.
In 1945 Sierhuis was admitted to the evening course 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 was co-founder of the Amsterdam artists’ group Groep Scorpio.
In the fifties and sixties Sierhuis primarily worked abstractly. Thereafter he returned to the human figure and shifted his focus 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.
Size of work with frame: 78 x 83 cm
Size of work without frame: 65 x 70 cm
Viewing is of course possible. In addition we have our own in-house frame shop, which is celebrating its 85th anniversary year. We also make use of restorers from the trade association: 'Restauratoren Nederland'. If you would like to use this service, of course we would be happy to hear from you.
