Beautiful etching by Ans Wortel, hand signed. Visual artist, writer and poet Ans Wortel (1929 – 1996) mainly made oil paintings, gouaches and drawings during her long artistic life. Her work covers a period of more than 50 years. As an autodidact, she slowly began to search for her own form from traditional painting that can be called 'abstract figurative'. In the early 1960s, Ans Wortel, who lived in Amsterdam, began to gain recognition for her work. In 1963, there was an exhibition of her work in the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam and in the Museum Van Bommel Van Dam in Venlo. Ans Wortel also won the prestigious 1st prize at the Biënnale de la Jeunesse in Paris in 1963. The Rijksmuseum purchased work from her.
