Kees Andréa The Hague 1914 - 2006
The Dutch artist Kees Andrea was a versatile artist. He created paintings, drawings, etchings, woodcuts, lithographs, and stained-glass windows in a naive-realistic style. Kees Andrea comes from a family of printers. His father was a lithographer, and his relatives printed prints by artists including M.C. Escher and Jan Veth. Kees Andrea is considered a member of the New Hague School. His son, Pat Andrea, also became an artist.
Before World War II, Kees Andrea taught at the Hague Free Academy. Because he refused to become a member of the Cultural Chamber, he was unable to teach during the war.
Kees Andrea drew inspiration from his travels to Hungary, France, and Spain. This is reflected, for example, in his characteristic Spanish landscapes, Spanish dancers, and depictions of bulls. His favorite subjects were portraits, figures, religion, interiors, landscapes, animals, still lifes, and winter landscapes. Andrea preferred to paint a combination of these subjects.
He discovered his personal style after a trip to Hungary in 1938, where he encountered folk art. Various shepherd figures, which he encountered in that country, regularly appear in his dreamy paintings. He strived for a harmony between people, animals, and objects. After World War II, he became a lecturer at the newly established Vrije Academie in The Hague.
Kees Andrea was a member of the Pulchri Studio Painting Society since 1937. His work has been purchased by the Hague Municipal Museum, Museum Zutphen, the Arnhem Municipal Museum, and the Centraal Museum in Utrecht, among others. Andrea received an honorable mention in the Jacobs Maris Prize in 1949 and the Jacob Maris Materials Prize in 1951.
Jacobs Maris Prize for drawing in 1953, Visser Neerlandia Prize in 1963, Jacob Hartog Prize for painting in 1968 (together with Jan Roëde) and van Ommeren-de Voogt Prize in 1996.
