Dick Cassée (Bloemendaal 1931 - Laren 2023) has been making graphics throughout his entire artistic career. After a short career as an illustrator, he left for Paris in 1961, where the American graphic artist Stanley Hayter taught him the art of etching. Cassée developed great skill in working with dry needle.
Dick Cassée is inspired by nature or architecture. He wants to represent light and space in their essence. Initially, the landscape of Provence is his main source of inspiration; later his love extends to the English landscapes.
On the spot he applies watercolours with a few brushstrokes. In his more recent work, watercolours and graphics increasingly converge.
