Alphons Freijmuth - titel ongekend - ZEER GROOT WERK !

Alphons Freijmuth (also known as Freymuth) studied from 1963 to 1964 at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam.[2] In 1965 he had his first one-man exhibition in the Amsterdam Gallery 845. From 1974 he taught at the Academy of Art and Industry (AKI) in Enschede. Freijmuth mainly works as a painter, but since the early eighties he also started making sculptures. Freijmuth spent a lot of time with Reinier Lucassen. The two painters, both admirers of the work of René Magritte, influenced each other and sometimes made paintings with the same subject or variations on or from each other's work. His work is counted among the New Figuration, of which he was one of the founders. He has a wild, abstract expressionist style, with bright colors. Yet his work also contains elements of De Stijl (Freijmuth frequently refers to Piet Mondrian, as in Rendez-vous with PM from 1991) and Constructivism (for example, Constructivism with beam and branch from 1986/87). His subjects are usually figure representations, nudes and portraits. Freijmuth lives and works in Amsterdam. The work is a very large oil painting on canvas. It is signed on the back.
