Lot description
Het Schilderij, Vrouw met Stoel (The Painting, Woman with Chair) (1976-78) Signed and dated 78 lower left Signed, titled and dated 76 on the stretcher Oil on canvas, 130.3 x 130.3 cm Provenance: - Auction Christie's, Amsterdam, 4 December 2012, lot 99 - Private collection, the Netherlands Note: Registered at the RKD - Netherlands Institute for Art History in The Hague under number 200374. Known for his dynamic, large-scale works, Kees van Bohemen explored themes of human struggle, sports, and exotic landscapes, using vibrant colours and bold brushstrokes. In his later period, his work evolved toward a blend of abstraction and figuration, with shapes beginning to suggest recognisable forms and everyday objects. The shape of a chair, for example, like the one in the present lot, adds a tangible element. These figures bring a sense of calm to his compositions yet remain charged with inner tension, lending reality a new dimension - one of illusion. This approach creates a layered reality, drawing viewers into a dreamlike space where vitality meets tranquillity. His works are part of prominent Dutch collections, including those at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam and Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam. * Condition report available upon request
