Janus de Winter - Waterlandschap - Sold

Atmospheric landscape, oil on panel, signed lower left. Adrianus Johannes Jacobus 'Janus' de Winter (1882-1951), the Utrecht avant-garde painter, was already making abstract paintings around 1915, representations inspired by emotion and the subconscious. With his work and theories, which corresponded to those of his great example Wassily Kandinsky, he influenced many Dutch artists, writers and musicians in his time. From 1930, De Winter's work becomes more traditional. First he paints landscapes, interesting for their color schemes and often unusually large dimensions. He applies the oil paint in rough strokes and with a palette knife. In the years that followed, he left expressionism for good and devoted himself to winter landscapes and colorful flower still lifes. The painting will be shipped registered and well packaged.
