Unique work by Anton Martineau (1926-2017)
In very good condition, watercolor drawing accentuated with charcoal.
Anton Martineau knows the Amsterdam Red Light District like the back of his hand. He was born there in 1926 as the son of a house painter. His mother was a clairvoyant and counted among her clientele the girls of pleasure from the neighborhood.
The kinship of Martineau with the Cobra painters and especially with Lucebert is visible, but Martineau pays more attention to details, on the edge of tights or a shoulder strap. Karel Appel, Corneille, Jan Sierhuis and poet Gerrit Kouwenaar were also good friends of Anton.
