- Hand-coloured Lithograph of the "Amsterdam Limburger" Gerard "Ger" Lataster (1920-2012), made in a very limited edition of 40 copies. Signed and numbered in pencil and neatly framed.
Ger Lataster (Schaesberg, February 16, 1920) can be counted among the abstract expressionists. After studying at the School of Industrial Art in Maastricht, he subsequently studied at the National Academy of Visual Arts in Amsterdam.
Lataster is able to apply abstract expressionism to its extreme. By using contrasting elements, techniques and materials, he manages to surprise the viewer again and again. Because Lataster consistently applies these techniques, his works of art appear reliable, no matter how great the changes have been in recent years.
Well-known works by Lataster are the painting 'Children at Play' - made in 1954, commissioned by the municipality of Heerlen - and the monumental ceiling painting for the Mauritshuis in The Hague, Icarus Atlanticus, 1987-1988. Lataster is one of the most successful Dutch artists of his generation.
