The Hague artist Wim Beuning enjoyed fame in the 1950s through the 1970s as a painter, graphic artist, draftsman and watercolorist. His drawings and beautiful graphic work were praised by art critics such as Jos de Gruyter. Beuning regularly exhibited at the Haagse Kunststichting, but also at the Gemeentemuseum and the Stedelijk Museum. He was a valued member of the Hague artists' association Pulchri Studio, Haagse Aquarellisten and 'De Grafische'. He also taught at the Hague Academy. Generations of students remember him as an exceptionally skilled teacher. It is less known that Beuning was also a theosophist and freemason. He was therefore very reserved about the influence that his beliefs had on his work. Beuning won prizes from the Jacob Maris Foundation, Stadhuisprijs The Hague 1953; the main prize of Concours Internationale du Dessin World Exhibition Paris 1937.
Beuning was a member of the Nieuwe Ploeg from Voorburg. Listed in the Scheen 1969-1970.
