Beautiful thick landscape by Gerrit Polder.
Gerrit Polder lived and worked in The Hague from about 1920. He was educated at the Academy of Fine Arts and was taught by Cornelis Koppenol and Kees van Urk. He was a hairdresser by trade, but painted in his spare time. The Hague is often the subject of his cityscapes, which are quickly painted in an impressionistic style. Gerrit Polder's other works were still lifes, landscapes and portraits. He also painted southern French landscapes and harbors. He exhibited several times and was a member and for some time chairman of Arti et Industriae. His sons Rudi Polder and Joop Polder also became painters.
