All auctions / Contemporary Art / Albert Niemeyer (1951) - Pair


Beautiful original work by Albert Niemeyer. The artwork is nicely framed and ready to hang on the wall. From a young age Albert Niemeyer was busy with drawing and painting. When he came into contact with artists such as Dali, Van Gogh, Appel and, in particular, Chagall and Picasso, his life changed forever. They knew how to shape all facets of life in their own distinctive way. In 1959 his parents moved to Eindhoven, where he decided to attend graphic design school. In Eindhoven he worked for a few years after completing his education at several zoos. Besides taking care of the animals, he observed and painted them as realistically as possible. Over the years he began to work more freely. From 1980 onward, Albert Niemeyer dedicated himself entirely to his art. He mainly creates portraits by assembling mixed-media works. While making his work, he lets himself be freely influenced, resulting in a fusion of styles visible in his work. These include: futurism, cubism, abstract art, dadaism, surrealism, avant-garde and pop art. In his work he brings to life personalities from the world of music, science and literature from long-vanished times. These were figures who dared to act beyond boundaries, and whose influence is still visible today. The character, clothing, and the era in which these personalities lived determine the list and form. While viewing his art, the observer rediscovers the different personalities.
