One of the most popular artists in the Netherlands
Jan Sluijters began his career as an illustrator and printmaker, but he wanted to become a visual artist. He won the renowned Prix de Rome and was allowed to travel through Europe to study the great masters. He stayed in Paris, where he met the avant-garde. Like these modern artists, he started working with bright colors applied with expressive brushstrokes. His new work was described by critics as 'frivolous,' and a few even called his work 'sick.' The jury stopped his grant. Sluijters paid no attention. He continued to follow his own path and grew into one of the most popular modern artists in the Netherlands. He mainly painted many portraits of women, often nudes. 'I also find it almost obvious that you paint more women than men. They are so much nicer to look at,' said Sluijters.
