Marc de Klijn. Fishing village in Sweden. Watercolor. The artwork and frame are in very good condition.
Marc de Klijn (born 1939) trained as a graphic designer at the AGS in Basel. Back in the Netherlands, he worked for years as a designer before deciding in 1976 to pursue free painting and, to that end, to pursue a second vocational training program in drawing/painting. From 1979 to 1996, he taught graphic design at the Christian University of the Arts in Kampen. During this period, he also gave guest lectures at art academies in Riga, Timisoara, and Bremen. His autonomous work initially consisted of landscape watercolors, which gradually developed into abstractions. Since 1975, he has exhibited extensively both in the Netherlands and abroad. A dramatic high point in his work is the extensive series of paintings about the Shoah, which originated after a visit to Auschwitz-Birkenau in 1995. He occupied himself with this theme for approximately ten years, culminating in the publication of an autobiographical art book, "The Dead Will Resurrect," which appeared in 2004. Other themes in his work include "Light Shines in the Darkness," "A New Heaven and a New Earth," and currently, the problems of the Middle East. Between 2007 and 2011, he published a second art book, "Schoulder to Shoulder – Places in the Promised Land," featuring watercolors by him, photographs and poems by his wife, Henny van Hartingsveldt, and meditations from the Bible. The de Klijns have lived in Israel since 2013.
