Information about the artist:
Kees de Waal (Bussum, 1922 – New York (USA), June 2025), entrepreneur, collagist, graphic artist, draftsman, and painter.
-Education: From a young age, Kees de Waal was destined for his father's textile business. He therefore attended the Higher Textile School in Enschede. During the Second World War, he was accepted into the Academy in Arnhem due to his strikingly expressive drawings of people. He studied painting and printmaking there from 1943 to 1945.
After that, he effectively led a double life for all those years. On the one hand, he handled the commercial management, advertising, and styling of the fashion chain 'HIJ' (which he founded in 1962 and which later merged into the current 'WE Fashion' ), on the other hand. On the other hand, he worked—as far as time permitted—on his development as an artist.
In 1984, Kees de Waal withdrew from the fashion chain and became a driven artist who, through his colorful and figurative graphic works, offered critical commentary on the global behavior of mankind. In this, he identifies with a bird that, in free flight and soaring above the earth, observes insignificant human existence. He created paintings, color etchings, watercolors, collages, prints, book illustrations, and linocuts and woodcuts.
Kees de Waal lived and worked primarily in Greenwich Village (New York, USA) together with his wife and fellow artist Deidre. Over the years, he has had many successful exhibitions, and his work is included in various collections around the world.
