Kees van Bohemen (1928-1985)
Swamp Landscape
1977 | oil paint on canvas | 136 × 206 cm
Apart from the vibrant colours, what makes this swamp landscape by Kees van Bohemen so engaging is that it’s realistic and abstract at the same.
In fact, Van Bohemen’s powerful technique, where the paint is sometimes applied to the canvas in thick blobs, recalls the work of fellow Dutchman Karel Appel. Which is not surprising, since they once shared an art studio in Paris.
