Kees van Bohemen (1928-1985)
The Lion
1973 | oil paint on canvas | 140 × 200 cm
The foreground of this painting by Kees van Bohemen is dominated by a lion. However, that’s not the reason his style is called exotic.
While the subject of his paintings is important – he was revered for his sport paintings in the 1960s – Van Bohemen’s main contribution to the Dutch world of art is his unique style. He was a master of expressive colour.
