====================================== Pieter Willem Bulthuis was a student at the Academy in The Hague. From 1919 until his retirement in 1963 he worked as a drawing teacher. He was successively a drawing teacher in The Hague, at the HBS in Zierikzee and from 1946-1963 at the HBS in Middelburg. He lived in Kijkduin aan Zee from 1924, but in 1942 the German authorities forced him to leave his home because it became part of the Atlantic Wall. He moved with his family to the Blokweg in Zierikzee. That house had to be abandoned in 1954 during the Disaster because the water reached the gutter. Once back after his evacuation he started drawing the flooded land. However, he moved to Middelburg shortly afterwards because he could no longer settle in the bleak surroundings of Schouwen-Duiveland, which had just been reclaimed from the sea. His paintings and drawings in traditional style, include still lifes, flower arrangements, landscapes and cityscapes of the Netherlands, the Dolomites, Mallorca, Ibiza etc. Especially worth mentioning are the gouaches of the flooded Schouwen-Duiveland from 1953. Eleven of these 'disaster' gouaches were purchased in 1985 by the Royal Zeeland Society of Sciences for the Zelandia Illustrata. Bulthuis also made wood engravings, woodcuts and sculptures and exhibited numerous times in Zeeland. Bulthuis was a member of the Hague Art Circle, Arti et Industriae and the Zeeuwse Kunstkring. ============================================================
