Information:
Jan Willem (Willy) Sluiter, born on 24 May 1873 in Amersfoort and died on 22 May 1949 in The Hague, was a versatile Dutch artist. As a member of the Sluiter family of ministers, he grew up in Heerenveen and Zwijndrecht.
Sluiter excelled as a painter, draftsman, graphic designer and book cover designer. His work included political cartoons, posters and portraits, exploring various art movements, including realism, impressionism and expressionism. His sources of inspiration extended far beyond the Netherlands, with trips to Paris, Munich, Barcelona, Venice, Rome and the Dutch East Indies.
During his years in Katwijk, Sluiter recorded the rough fishing life and made beach scenes. His move to Laren brought about a shift to farm interiors and heathland landscapes. In The Hague, where he settled in 1916, he portrayed the elite and chose Scheveningen over Katwijk as his favourite location for beach scenes.
Willy Sluiter was not only an artist but also an active member of the art community. In 1923 he became chairman of Pulchri Studio and fulfilled the role of General Secretary for the 'Government Committee for Art Exhibitions Abroad'. Sluiter was honored in 1948 with a retrospective exhibition at Pictura on the occasion of his 75th birthday. He died in 1949. Sluiter's works are represented in renowned collections, including Boijmans van Beuningen, Rijksmuseum, Singer Laren, Dordrechts Museum and the Katwijks Museum.
