About the artist: Until the late 1950s, Ans Wortel's work varied widely. It features and is inspired by works by artists as diverse as Katsushika Hokusai, Willem de Kooning, Paul Klee, Marc Chagall, Paul Gauguin, Max Ernst, Jackson Pollock, Pablo Picasso, Wifredo Lam and Karel Appel. At the end of the fifties, this resulted in a style entirely of her own, which she herself sometimes called 'Ime' (as opposed to the term 'Wortelian', which was often suggested in the press at the time, and because she was indifferent to the need of 'connoisseurs' to classify her art). Her abstract figurative art (sometimes also called new figuration ) often contains naked female, male and child beings that are easily recognizable, but distorted. The human figures are together, look for each other, embrace each other or repel each other. Hands, eyes and face are important motifs in her work. The figures exist in undefined spaces, which sometimes take the form of an almost surreal landscape. The moon and the contours of the earth are often reflected in her work. Her work is usually accompanied by handwritten titles or texts of a poetic nature.
