Jan Stekelenburg belonged to the first postwar group of abstract painters in our country. Born in Masbree in 1922, he studied at the Rijksacademie in Amsterdam from 1947. There he joined a group of painters who wanted to challenge traditional art through abstraction and experimentation. Around 1955, Stekelenburg became a member of the LIGA NIEUW BEELDEN, an artists’ association in which most of the modernist artists of the time joined, as well as former Cobra he members.
