Oil on canvas: 50 x 70 cm.
Marked: Willy Fleur
ohan Willem Fleur was a Hague painter, who was born on June 13, 1888 in Markelo and died March 15, 1967 in The Hague. After first attending the Academy of Visual Arts in Rotterdam (teacher Huib Luns, among others), he settled in The Hague in 1912, where he received figure lessons from Frits Jansen and portrait lessons from Willem Grondhout at the academy. After a year as a volunteer apprenticed to stage painter LWR Sommer, he started working as a professional painter. Willy Fleur painted, watercolored and drew (also pen and pastel) in an impressionistic manner, mainly colorful floral still lifes, often with the addition of an Asian element such as porcelain objects, dolls or cloths. He also made landscapes, beach and dune views, cityscapes, portraits and animals, including many birds and aquarium fish. Following a retrospective exhibition in 2004 in Museum Dorestad in Wijk bij Duurstede, the monograph 'Willy Fleur (1888-1967): a colorful Hague painter with an Eastern heart' by Maarten van der Schaft was published.
