All auctions / Contemporary Art / André van der Vossen (1893-1963) - Abstracte compositie
Interesting gouache by the Dutch painter André van der Vossen (1893-1963). This work is presumably made in the mid-1950s. The dimensions are 32.5 x 47 cm without the frame and including the original frame 52.5 x 67 cm. Provenance Atelier of the artist Kunsthandel Pompe, Haarlem Auction house Van Spengen June 1995, lot no. 205 Collection van der Spek, Kortenhoef André van der Vossen (1893-1963) worked for a long time after a training as a designer at Johan Enschedé Druckerij in Haarlem and later also as an aesthetic adviser for the PTT, for whom he also produced (award-winning) postage stamp designs. Van der Vossen belongs to the artists who, shortly after World War II, broke with figuration out of conviction and chose abstraction. Van der Vossen belongs to the artists who, shortly after World War II, broke with figuration out of conviction and chose abstraction. From a diary kept from 1947 it appears that after 1945 he followed the developments in modern art closely. He was particularly impressed by the exhibitions in 1947 and 1948 about Kandinsky and Klee organized by the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam. His abstract oeuvre (made between 1947-1957) ranges from strictly geometric to abstract-expressionist. Although Van der Vossen was very modest about his work, he was involved in several important artistic events and movements in the fifties. In 1957 he returned to figuration, with sea- and dune-scapes being his preference. #benl_art
