Description from the seller
The painter Herman C.A. Paradies was born in Rotterdam. He studied for several years at the Rotterdam Academy, despite his father's opposition, and earned his living as a painter and decorator at Wilton-Feyenoord in Schiedam, but in his spare time he painted cityscapes, often on commission for the Municipal Archive.
After moving in 1940 to Schiedam, fleeing the wartime violence in Rotterdam, he mainly produced many paintings and watercolors of mostly old parts of the city. He was primarily an impressionist painter of cityscapes and took part in several exhibitions. In 1945, 1949, 1975 and 1990 exhibitions were devoted to him. In 1992 a portfolio with 24 reproductions of his drawings, watercolors and paintings was published, on the occasion of the exhibition “Herman C.A. Paradies” at the Stedelijk Museum Schiedam.
