Watercolor of the Lek near Vianen from the early 1970s by the famous Utrecht artist Bertus Jonkers.
Bertus Jonkers was a painter, etcher, watercolourist, poet, writer, thinker and bookmaker. A true Utrechter, world traveller and admirer of Krishnamurti.
Jonkers was without a doubt one of the most intriguing artists in his hometown Utrecht of the past century. At his home, between 1989 and 1992, Jonkers built a miniature metropolis. From sand, plaster, glue and all kinds of small materials he made miniature buildings and other elements of a city, which together gave shape to a metropolis. This creative version of a metropolis became known as the "Ideal City", but is also known as the "City of Devotion". In 1990 this art creation was shown in the Centraal Museum of Utrecht and in 1992 the museum bought a large part of this miniature construction.
Jonkers' work is collected by the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam, Centraal Museum Utrecht and by private collectors worldwide.
In 2016, several etchings by Jonkers were exhibited in the Rembrandt House during the exhibition "Under the Spell of Hercules Segers - Rembrandt and the Moderns", a tribute to Hercules Segers (1589/90-1633/40) in collaboration with the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam and the Hercules Segers Foundation.
Provenance: Dutch private collection
