About the artist Jan Bezemer (Rotterdam, 1907 – 1997) Jan Bezemer was a graphic artist and wall painter, also a sculptor, artist and much more. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rotterdam and lived there all his life, where he lived and worked in this great city like Rotterdam. Bezemer started with lithographs and engraving due to lack of money. His work was so groundbreaking, even Willem Sandberg (former director of the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam) devoted an exhibition to his work in 1959. He was and is one of the prominent artists who belonged to the generation of post-war graphic artists who would dominate the artistic Rotterdam landscape for many years. During his life, Bezemer mainly inspired animals and athletes. During the war years, Jan Bezemer had his studio in Diergaarde Blijdorp, where he got in touch with, among others, J. v B. from Rotterdam, who supported Hem by buying various works of art from him. Animals in particular have often been a recurring subject in his life, Jan Bezemer was one of the very numerous Artists (the best) because in the 1930s he already made plates that he painted for the Diergaarde Blijdorp.
