Description from the seller
Portrait of a Lady in Feve (Seafare?) Sfeerval portrait of a lady, painted by Sjef van Schaijk (1901-1985)
Van Schaijk was born in 1901 in Ravenstein. His impoverished background and restive nature did not give him an easy life. He could hardly bind himself to a steady job for long. All those years, painting was his main occupation. Sjef van Schaijk was self-taught but soon established contact with other artists in the area, of whom Hendrik Wiegersma and Gerard Princëe are the best known. With the latter he shared a studio for several years and made study trips through Europe. During that period he became acquainted with the work of several of his contemporaries. He especially admired the Belgian surrealists such as Magritte and Delvaux and the Flemish expressionists such as Permeke. The majority of Van Schaijk’s work is surrealistic. Van Schaijk was not a painter who sought beauty or the aesthetic. He himself carried tension and sought an outlet for his feelings, and the Surrealists’ method gave him that possibility.
Dimensions: 69 x 47 cm
Framed dimensions: 75 x 53 cm
Viewing is, of course, possible. In addition, we have our own in-house framers celebrating their 85th anniversary year. Furthermore, we work with restorers from the professional association: 'Restauratoren Nederland'. If you would like to make use of this, we would be happy to hear from you.
