Lot 19: Bohemen, Kees van - Lithograph - Hand signed

Hand-Signed and numbered by the Artist. Complete framed. Cornelis Bernardus van Bohemen (The Hague, 27 September 1928 - there, 22 September 1985) was a Dutch painter. Kees van Bohemen studied in the 1940s at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague. At the age of twenty-four he received a scholarship with which he traveled to Paris. He stayed there for five years with intervals and made friends with several painters from the Cobra group; he shared a studio with Corneille until 1957. At the end of the 1950s, he joined the Dutch Informal Group. Other members of this group were Armando, Jan Schoonhoven and Jan Henderikse. Afterward, he was indirectly involved in the Dutch Zero movement; he maintained personal contacts with its members. He was also a member of the Posthoorngroep, Pulchri Studio and the Haagse Kunstkring. In 1954 he became a member of the Sint Lucas association in Amsterdam. Van Bohemen visited various European countries and traveled to the United States and Africa (1972). He produced large colourful canvases of women, sportsmen and exotic motifs. The expressive treatment of paint was his main concern; he explicitly did not want to tell a story with his paintings. His work is in the collections of Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam, the Gemeentemuseum in The Hague and the Stedelijk Mus
