Willem Westbroek (Rotterdam, September 21, 1918 – Rotterdam, April 16, 1998) was a Dutch graphic artist and painter. He is also known as Willem W. His work is classified as naive art. Life and work Westbroek began painting around the age of 23 and studied at the Rotterdam Art Academy for a time. He was a pupil of Herman Bieling. His etchings and paintings have a dreamlike atmosphere and are naive in their representation. Westbroek created nudes, landscapes, and cityscapes. Some etchings are somber and gray, but Westbroek primarily drew and painted using a great deal of green and other bright colors. A piece of Rotterdam can be recognized in many of his works. Westbroek lived on a houseboat, which also served as his studio. He lived in various places in Rotterdam, including on the Voorhaven in Delfshaven. A publication appeared accompanying an exhibition of his work: Nico van der Endt & Willem Westbroek, Willem Westbroek: paintings = paintings, Rotterdam: Centrum Beeldende Kunst, 1989.
