Henri Bertus (Har) Sanders (The Hague, May 16, 1929 – Oude Pekela, May 12, 2010) was a Dutch painter, draftsman and graphic artist.
After his alternative military service in the National Psychiatric Institution in Eindhoven, Sanders attended evening training at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague from 1953 to 1958. He graduated in 'illustrative'. Sanders, who lived and worked in The Hague until 1959, attended Kees Bol's painting class in Waddinxveen in 1959. He made screen prints, paintings, drawings, linoleum cuts and etchings and was a window dresser at the department store group Vroom and Dreesmann until 1964. In 1965 he moved to Stiphout in Brabant. From 1964 to 1973 he taught drawing at the Academy for Industrial Design in Eindhoven and from 1980 to 1986 taught painting at the Academy in The Hague. From 1990 onwards, Sanders lived successively in Exloërmond (1990-1992), Montignac-sur-Vézère (1992-1995), Bellingwolde (1995-2001), Bad Nieuweschans (2001-2005) and finally Oude Pekela (2005-2010). During his alternative military service in 1950, he met fellow conscientious objector Frank Letterie, whom he encouraged to start drawing. Sanders and Letterie, who had developed into a sculptor, exhibited together in 2003 in De Buitenplaats in Eelde.
In October 2007, an exhibition of Sanders' work was opened in the Helmond Playhouse. To mark this occasion, the booklet "Har Sanders en Helmond" was published. In the theater hall of the Speelhuis there was a canvas painting on the wall and ceiling of eight hundred square meters, which made one feel like they were in a tent.[1] The painting was made by Sanders in 1972 in consultation with the architect Piet Blom. His monumental work in Theater 't Speelhuis in Helmond was destroyed by fire on December 29, 2011.
