From the estate of the artist obtained this gouache with the title `Brielle`. Framed in a light wooden frame and passe-partout.
With other representatives of new realism he has in common that he studied, between 1955 and 1960, at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague. Between 1963 and 1991 he was a lecturer at the Arnhem School of the Arts. De Haan initially focused on photorealism and gradually began to devote himself more to large multicoloured abstract paintings that evoke an imaginative and slightly carefree world. Often several artists from the aforementioned group contributed to such paintings.
The premature death of his partner Maarten van Dreven (Sneek, 1941 - The Hague, 2001) has not affected the Cobra-like colour palette of his paintings, but the dreamy and reckless aspects have since become a thing of the past.
