Kees van Bohemen (The Hague, 1928 - The Hague 1985) studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in The Hague. At the age of twenty-four he received a grant with which he travelled to Paris. He stayed there for five years with breaks in between and became friends with several painters from the Cobra group. He shared a studio there with Corneille until 1957.
In the late 1950s, the artist joined the Dutch
Informal Group founded by the artists Jan Schoonhoven, Armando, Jan Henderikse and
Henk Peeters .
In 1963 Van Bohemen acquired his own special style in which abstract and figurative
together become one whole. Van Bohemen stayed in the United States for one year in 1966,
the sports figures in beautiful bright and vivid colours are the result of the influence of his stay in America. This print is also an example of that, Jan Jansen wins the Tour de France 1968.
A silkscreen print made with glossy oil paint.
