Linocut by Wim Zwiers from 1961. Title: "Girl on a bicycle". The work is signed at the bottom right.
After graduating from the Christian HBS in Rotterdam, he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rotterdam from 1940 onwards and graduated in 1944. In 1948, Zwiers was one of the three Dutch graphic artists who participated in the Prix de Rome for graphic art. From 1946 to 1964, he was affiliated with the aforementioned academy as a teacher of graphic techniques. From 1964 to 1974, he was affiliated with the Minerva Academy in Groningen.
From 1974 to 1997 he lived in Lekkerkerk. A stained glass window designed by him, depicting the poison affair that hit Lekkerkerk in 1980, can be found there in the Grote of Johanneskerk.
He produced many hundreds of ex-libris. Around 1992, in addition to his engraved ex-libris, he began using the computer to produce ex-libris and other small graphics. Although he was not the first to produce computer ex-libris, he surprised by starting such a new technique at the age of seventy as a renowned copper and wood engraver.
