Jan van Helden (1932-2006). Expressionist portrait of a woman in profile and a charcoal study of the same subject on the reverse. Oil on canvas. The painting and frame are in very good condition. Dimensions without frame 55x45 cm. Including frame 66x56 cm.
During and after his training, Jan van Helden worked in the spirit of the 'stylized' Limburg School: elegant figures wearing clothing with decorative pleats.
Van Helden (Herkenbosch, 1932) soon abandoned this rather empty, mannerist line, characteristic of much ecclesiastical art from those years. He develops his own knotty style. Elegance is hard to find and Permeke is never far away.
Van Helden frequently uses a photographic principle in his later work. We must realize that the 1950s did not yet have the excessive, ubiquitous visual culture of today. Another element that touched Van Helden was the black, which he must have appreciated as a blouson noir. It is the color of the existentialists.
