Hessel de Boer (Haarlem 1921 - The Hague 2003) Reclining...

Hessel de Boer (Haarlem 1921 - The Hague 2003) Reclining nude With studio stamp on the stretcher Oil on canvas, 60 x 85.2 cm Provenance: - Auction Venduehuis der Notarissen, The Hague, 9 November 2011, lot 284 - Private collection, the Netherlands Note: While most of his contemporaries worked in the expressionist, abstract or minimalist style, De Boer continued working as an impressionist, and not without merit. The delicate nude present, showing his absolute craftsmanship, can be compared to the posing ladies portrayed by Isaac Israels (1865-1934). Only De Boer’s oeuvre is best of both worlds, showing in the Japonesque drapery in the back, executed almost better than George Hendrik Breitner (1857-1923) did in his famous portraits of girls in kimonos.
