AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Jan van Oort (1921 - 2006) designed the comic character Paulus the Boskabouter during World War II, whose adventures have been published in Het Vrije Volk since 1946. Van Oort called himself 'Jean Dulieu' (the French translation of 'Jan van Oort').
Besides 8,000 newspaper publications, Paulus appeared in color in numerous magazines and children's books (published in translation in many countries). The watercolors Dulieu created for this purpose are each and every one a small work of art.
Dulieu was a jack of all trades, a versatile and virtuoso artist whose skill and talent kept pace with his pursuit of perfection. Jean Dulieu received many awards for his work and is considered part of the "Big Three": Marten Toonder, Hans G. Kresse, and Jean Dulieu. Jan van Oort (1921 - 2006) designed the comic character Paulus de Boskabouter during World War II, whose adventures have been published in Het Vrije Volk since 1946. Van Oort called himself "Jean Dulieu" (French translation of "Jan van Oort").
Ultimately, between 1946 and 1984, approximately 8,000 daily strips were created at intervals. In addition to those newspaper publications, Paulus appeared in color in a large number of magazines and children's books (translated and published in many countries). Jean Dulieu received many awards for his work and is considered one of the 'Big Three': Marten Toonder, Hans G. Kresse, and Jean Dulieu.
This lot contains a beautiful, large drawing created as a study for the cover of Paulus en Wawwa in 1983. The final version is visible in photo 5. The book is not included with this lot. Take a look at the virtuosity in the sketching and the very refined line work. Dulieu was unique with such refined line work. Finely detailed and virtuoso with pen. The miniature, the composition... only the greatest can achieve this. The large sketch sheet is signed by Jean Dulieu.
The drawing will be packed with maximum protection and sent to the new owner by registered mail.
