Freek van den Berg (1918-2000) - Zonnebloemen schilderen

Freek van den Berg - Fauvist - beautiful early artwork in a floater frame. Dimensions: 140 x 160 cm.

Johannes Fredericus (Freek) van den Berg (Amsterdam 1918 – Veessen 2000) was a Dutch painter. Freek van den Berg was largely self-taught. He did, however, study for a time with the artist Frits Giltay and receive advice from Han van Dam. From 1954 to 1963, he also worked as an art critic for Het Parool, Het Vrije Volk and Vrij Nederland. In 1985, Van den Berg moved from Amsterdam to the small Veluwe village of Veessen on the River IJssel. The direct view of the river, and especially the sunrises, influenced his work. His colors became lighter in tone, “brighter, as if the sun had more of a chance to make its presence felt.” Van den Berg has often been called “the last Dutch Fauvist.” Although his work shows affinities with Fauvism, he also felt a connection to French Impressionism and German Expressionism.

A truly stunning, large and colorful work in very good condition, framed in a floater frame.
