Adrianus Johannes (Aad) de Haas (Rotterdam, December 30, 1920 - Schaesberg, March 21, 1972), was a Dutch sculptor, graphic artist and painter, whose work is usually characterized as figurative expressionist.
Life course
He grew up in a Catholic environment and, after graduating from MULO, studied at the Rotterdam Academy of Fine Arts.
De Haas experienced the bombing of Rotterdam. His work was labelled as 'degenerate' by the occupying forces and he ended up in prison. In 1944 he managed to flee to South Limburg with his wife Nel, where he would remain and work for the rest of his life as a passionate and socially involved artist. From 1952 he lived in Kasteel Strijthagen in Schaesberg.
In the years after the Second World War he played a completely unique role in the Limburg art climate. He resolutely rejected trend-sensitive developments and continued to work in a very special and personal oeuvre in a figurative, expressionist tradition. With De Haas this idiosyncrasy was not a stylistic issue. He is characterised by an absolute fusion of his life and work and by an unceasing production: he could do nothing but make 'beautiful things', entirely for his 'own fun'. De Haas was always a bit contrary in his work attitude and life; activism and autonomy went hand in hand with him.
Aad de Haas died in 1972 at the age of 51, leaving behind a large oeuvre of works in various techniques and styles, which reflect his recognizable unique visual language and the universal themes that are important to him. Religion, suffering, power, resistance, seduction and eroticism are recurring themes in his work, which are often interwoven with experiences from his personal life. De Haas' work holds up a mirror to society, as it were: his art speaks of a conscience.
De Haas' name is mainly associated with the conflict over his murals in the Sint Cunibertus church in Wahlwiller. Resistance grew from the church against these Stations of the Cross, which he completed in 1947, and they eventually had to be removed by order of the Diocese of Roermond, under the episcopate of Bishop Guillaume Lemmens. They were only able to return in 1981, with the help of Bishop Jo Gijsen. In 1996, Bishop Frans Wiertz apologized on behalf of the Roman Catholic Church and De Haas was posthumously rehabilitated.
In 1949, De Haas was awarded the Stichting Kunstenaarsverzet 1942-1945 Prize by the Stichting Kunstenaarsverzet 1942-1945. In 1994/1995, the Stadsgalerij Heerlen purchased part of De Haas' artistic estate from the heirs. This acquisition included over 250 works (paintings, drawings, monotypes and graphics). Today, the largest Aad de Haas collection has been brought together in the municipal collection SCHUNCK (Heerlen). Furthermore, work by the artist is included in Dutch museum and private collections.
