Anton Martineau (1926-2017) - Zonder titel
Technique: Watercolour
Signature: Hand signed
Beautiful and unique work in mixed style by Anton Martineau. The work is in excellent condition. Here and there only some smudges from the artist himself due to the technique used. The work is constructed in multiple techniques into a special painting. Including chalk, paint, pencil, etc. , everything within reach has been used.
Antoon Peter Johan Martineau (Amsterdam, November 19, 1926 – March 11, 2017) was a Dutch visual artist and poet. He worked as a painter, draftsman, graphic artist and sculptor in the style of figurative expressionism.
His oeuvre consists of paintings, drawings and graphics in a strongly expressionist figurative style. Spontaneous drawing plays an important role in his work. Topics are, first and foremost: people, dancing couples, tango, eroticism, drama of love and death, joy and fear, absurd portraits and still lifes. Women and the feminine dominate the masculine in his emotionally charged work. Against the oppression of education, he paints the delightful, the licentious, the liberating. [7] His lyrical style was sometimes considered part of the international new figuration, but is also related to the expressionism of Cobra and Lucebert. He was friends with Karel Appel, Corneille and the poet Gerrit Kouwenaar and with Jan Sierhuis, who once advised him to make less sexually explicit work in order to sell more. Martineau rejected this suggestion because he mainly wanted to follow his own feeling, in which, for example, a lonely naked person on a bed has something very moving. [8] Because of his desire to follow his own path, he did not seek close ties with Cobra. Once again, the development of his work in the mid-1960s coincided with the zeitgeist of the Provo movement and the sexual revolution. The pleasure that Martineau experiences in painting and dealing with the material oil paint is evident from his comparison of the sensual experience of squeezing a tube of paint with an orgasm.
The work will be sent to you in a sturdy tube after payment.
