1871-1934 The Hague-Amsterdam
The Dutch artist Johan Joseph Aarts (1871-1934) studied at the art academy in The Hague
Aarts continued to live and work in this city until 1911.
Johan Joseph Aarts became known as an artist mainly for his drawings and graphic works. Together with Dupont he ensured the revaluation of copper engraving.
In the 1990s, Aarts, together with Bremmer, Toorop and Vijlbrief, was one of the earliest Dutch neo-impressionists.
JJ Aarts has practiced all graphic techniques. He went his own way in the choice of subjects. Despite the fact that his subjects are not always equally interesting, his work still has its own value.
Johan Joseph Aarts became a lecturer at the art academy in The Hague and succeeded Dupont, after his early death in 1911, as professor of graphic design at the Amsterdam State Academy.
