Jan Kagie Jr. Born in The Hague in 1907, died in 1991 in Amsterdam Jan Kagie lived and worked in The Hague, Rolde and Amsterdam. He was a student of his father but also trained himself (self-taught). He moved to Rolde (villa "De Wilte") in 1937 and to Amsterdam in 1949. During his time in Drenthe he came into contact with, among others, the Groningen art circle "De Ploeg", Hendrik Werkman and Gerrit Benner. Together with a number of Drenthe painters (including Reinhart Dozy, Anton Heijboer and Bernard van Dulmen Krumpelman) he founded the association "De Drentse Schilders" in 1946. He painted, drew and watercolored landscapes, still lifes and seascapes, initially in a realistic, later more figurative-expressionist style, where he abstracted his figures and objects in his own unique way. He was a member of the artists' associations "Arti et Amicitiae", "De Stuwing" and Fed. BBK in Amsterdam. The work of Jan Kagie Jr. is in many museum, corporate and private collections, including the National Collection.
