Nic Jonk - Vrouw , uit 15-03-1984 - Sold

The screen print is hand-printed by Wout van der Vet on handmade paper and signed in pencil by the artist! With his graphics and oil paintings, he shows himself to be a master in depicting female beauty. But graceful animals such as swans and horses are also depicted in a colorful whole with apparently simple lines. The fierce expressionist and especially monumental canvases evoke an association with painters such as Rubens, Renoir and Matisse. His versatile oeuvre also consists of jewellery, ceramics and glass, steel and perspex objects. His health often played tricks on him, something that is a huge handicap for a sculptor. In the last years of his life, when sculpting became too much for him, it turned out that Nic Jonk was also a talented painter. His ambition conquered all. After his death in 1994, his long-cherished plans to expand and renovate the museum and the sculpture garden were realized. The new museum was opened in 1995 and has been managed by his son Zeger ever since. His wife Greet and the children also permanently exhibit their work there.
