It has been some time now that i am auctioning on Catawiki handpainted plates and bowls by Jan Snoeck. These items were made some 30 years ago and are all signed on the back. I mention this auction, because Jan Snoeck will have a special exhibition at the Museum Jan van der Togt / Amstelveen opening on the 1st of March ( https://www.jvdtogt.nl/verwacht-jan-snoeck-oskar-lens/). This will be a great occasion to see the works by Jan Snoeck who has become one of the most important European ceramic artists. Snoeck’s his works are rarely offered but the plate on Catawiki / https://veiling.catawiki.nl/kavels/10479085-jan-snoeck-unicum-schaal. is a rare and typical Snoeck ceramic plate and deserves to become part of a great collection. Take a look for yourself and if you are interested in the books by Jan Snoeck, visit www.ftn-books.com. ( only a few left). For the other available plates inquire.
Hannie Bal was married to Willem Schrofer. Schrofer was one of the founding members of VERVE and together with her husband they both were VERVE members during its existence. Both Hannie Bal and Schrofer were later recognized as highly influential in the Dutch art scene ( Schrofer taught at the Koninklijke Academie) and both were important for the NIEUWE HAAGSE SCHOOL. A group of artists, all living in the The Hague area, and working close together in the 50’s and 60’s , meeting regularly in the Haagse Kunstkring and the Bodega DE POSTHOORN.
Hannie Bal was one of the few female artist in those days, but her work has nothing feminine. It was inspired by great artists like Cezanne and the later Neo Impressionists like Seurat and Signac
…..and she even had a very productive period at the end of the sixties/early seventies in which she made Constructivist paintings.
Why this short story on Hannie Bal and Verve. Verve because there are some extremely nice early publications on Verve and its artists at www.ftn-books.com available and secondly. ….Today i started 2 auctions with work by Hannie Bal on Catawiki. Both starting at only euro 1,– which make these very nice works a possible win for all. Take a look at them and start bidding on this Black Friday weekend………
