Paul CITROEN (Berlin 1896 - Wassenaar 1983) Draftsman, painter, photographer and writer.

Paul Citroen, born of Dutch parents, grew up in Berlin where he came into contact with art and literature at an early age. At the age of 14 he left school (Kunsthochschule) to become a painter. In Berlin-Charlottenburg, Martin Brandenburg is his teacher.
Through his friend Georg Muche he gets to know new art directions in "Der Storm".
He tries to paint "modern", but he is unable to do so.

He gives up painting and becomes co-founder of an art bookstore in Berlin. This brought him into contact with many innovative artists, including members of the DaDa movement, which led him to start painting, drawing and making photomontages again.
He was admitted to the famous Bauhaus course in Weimar, where he was taught by greats from art history such as Paul Klee and Kandinsky.
In 1927, Paul Citroen settled in the Netherlands in Amsterdam, where he initially mainly focused on photography. In 1933 he founded "the New Art School", a continuation of the Bauhaus direction. However, this school had to close in 1937. From 1935 to 1960 he was, with interruptions, a teacher at the Academy of Visual Arts in The Hague.
As a teacher there, he is one of the driving forces behind the movement that is now called the New Hague School. He publishes articles and books on art and works as a painter and draftsman of landscapes, but his portraits made him famous.

Paul Citroen's work is in many museum, corporate and private collections, including the National Collection. In 1950 and 1956 he won the Jacob Maris Prize.
