- Beautiful print by Ria Exel. Ria (Maria Geertruida Elisabeth) van Klaveren - Exel was born on May 11, 1915, in Rotterdam and died on March 19, 1985, in The Hague. Her mother had Irish ancestors who worked in shipping, and her father was a history teacher and writer from Duisburg. She received her education at the Royal Academy of Visual Arts in The Hague and at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière in Paris.
She worked in Rotterdam, The Hague, and Paris, among other places. She made study trips to Italy and Switzerland, to Basel and Zurich.
During the war, she contributed to resistance publications, which did not go without consequences. At that time, she provided illustrations for an edition of stories by the poet R.M. Rilke. From 1952 to 1958, she was a teacher at the Royal Academy in The Hague. In 1959, she won the Edinburgh Prize for her etchings. Ria Exel was a versatile artist, best known for her etchings, drawings, and illustrations, but she also engaged in making tapestries, sculptures, and paintings.
Various exhibitions at home and abroad, including at the Posthoorn and galleries in Rotterdam, Leiden, and Amsterdam. Outside the Netherlands, she appeared in the collective exhibition together with Paul Citroen and Jenny Dalenoord in Brussels (Benelux House) in 1958, and in Berlin in 1959 together with Kees Andréa, Paul Citroen, and Jenny Dalenoord.
Member of the Hague Art Circle and the Posthoorn Group.
