David Granaat (1914 - 2005) was the Amsterdam physician and endocrinologist Dr. D. Granaat for many years. After a solid medical education - Granaat received his doctorate in 1952 with a physiological study - he went to the Amsterdam Free Academy to take painting lessons.
“Doctor D. Granaat is becoming less and less of a physician and more and more of an artist.
The transformation of an intellectual into an artist of the subconscious, and this in middle age, is a perilous adventure and a rare phenomenon,” wrote reviewer Frans Duister in 1966 in the daily newspaper De Tijd about David Granaat.
The painter-physician receives rave reviews from Prof. Dr. Hans Jaffé and art historian Hans Redeker.
