Nic Jonk - Zeefdruk, 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 above all a master in portraying feminine beauty. But also graceful animals such as swans and horses are depicted with apparently simple lines in a colorful whole. 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 an enormous handicap for a sculptor. In the last years of his life, when sculpting became too difficult for him, Nic Jonk also turned out to be a talented painter. His ambition conquered all. After his death in 1994, his long-cherished plans to expand and renovate the museum and 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 exhibit their work there permanently.
