Ewoud de Kat - snow-covered roofs at park

Ewoud de Kat (1904-1974) was born in Vlissingen and took drawing lessons there from Gerard Jacobs. He attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Rotterdam. He lived and worked in Vlissingen, Rotterdam, and from 1935 in Haarlem. He was a painter, draftsman, and watercolorist in a style reminiscent of the Flemish Expressionists. His subjects included landscapes, seascapes, farmers, and fishermen. During a stay in Paris, he came into contact with the painters of the 'Ecole de Paris' and began to depict his subjects more abstractly. In the later stages of his career, he began creating tapestries and collages. This work comes from a lot of several works, some of which are signed, from the studio of Ewoud de Kat.
