Willy Elize Belinfante-Sauerbier (Rotterdam, April 9, 1922 – Amsterdam, March 26, 2014) was a Dutch painter, draftsman and graphic artist. Life and work Willy (also Wil or Wies) Sauerbier was born in Rotterdam as the daughter of lithographer Karel Hendrik Sauerbier (1907-1990) and Johanna van der Beek. Her father was director of Steendrukkerij Stadtler en Sauerbier, the current Royal Sens. Sauerbier was educated at the Hague Academy of Art (1940-1945). At the academy she was taught by Rein Draijer, Han van Dam and Willem Jacob Rozendaal, among others, after the war she was taught by Paul Citroen. She felt related to the work of Nicolas de Staël and Frits Klein, with whom she came into contact in Paris in 1952. According to art critic Hans Redeker, after her marriage to Professor Belinfante, she evolved from a painter and draughtswoman of landscapes, cityscapes and dance "to an artist who critically and from a distance observes the life of the university establishment, of the academic world of vanities, at receptions and other meetings in which she had to participate". Willy Belinfante made, among other things, figure representations, landscapes, portraits and book illustrations in an impressionistic and figurative style. She has exhibited with, among others, the Pulchri Studio and a number of times at art dealership Martinus Liernur. In 2002 a monograph was published on the occasion of her 80th birthday and an exhibition was held in the Flehite museum in Amersfoort. The artist passed away in 2014, at the age of 92. Privately Sauerbier was briefly married to WCJ de Haas after the war.[6] The artist Laetitia de Haas was born from this marriage. In 1959 she remarried August David (Guus) Belinfante (1911-2000), professor of constitutional law and rector magnificus of the University of Amsterdam. He had two children from a previous marriage, Judith and Joost Belinfante, together they had another son.
