Henk van der Vet was obsessed with photography from an early age. After a failed school, he found work with photographers in The Hague from the age of 15 and learned to develop photos in the darkroom. Developing photographs enabled him to emphasize certain accents, or to have them blurred. Van der Vet first came into contact with screen printing technology in 1962 when he started working at Poly vroom. He soon started experimenting with his existing knowledge about photography and the possibilities that screen printing offered him, so in 1963 the work “Stockcar race” was born. Well-known artists also came to Henk van der Vet's studio to make screen prints with him. He printed the screen print “One little cat” for Karel Appel and in 1977 Henk van der Vet made the album 'Seven Summer Days', in which Appel painted his photographic skills. Bram Bogart, Co Westerik, Kees van Bohemen, Yasse Tabuchi, Gillet, Jan van Diemen, Marcel Verdren and other artists were also regular guests in his studio. Photography always played a major role in the works that Van der Vet would make then and later. He therefore called the serigraphs, which he made in his own style, 'photography', 'painting with photography'.
