Biography: Theo Beerendonk
The oeuvre of Theo Beerendonk (1905-1979) reflects the stormy developments that art went through in the twentieth century. Beerendonk quickly built up an impressive oeuvre with portraits, still lifes and nudes that stood out due to their idiosyncratic use of colour.
Theodorus Hendricus Johannes (Theo) Beerendonk studied from 1925 to 1931 at the State Academy of Art in Amsterdam, where he received a thorough classical painting training under the guidance of professors JH Jurres and Hendrik Jan Wolter. In the 1930s, Beerendonk caused a furore with daring nudes, in the tradition of his great predecessors George Hendrik Breitner, Isaac Israels and Jan Sluijters. He also painted portraits, still lifes, flowers, figures and landscapes, and he also devoted himself to etching, in which he achieved a true mastery. He mastered all techniques, from drypoint and mezzotint to aquatint and varnish-mou. He was a member of various organizations: Maatschappij Rembrandt 1944, St.-Lucas Amsterdam 1944, Arti et Amicitiae Amsterdam as a member until 1956 and as 2nd chairman from 1957.
After the Second World War he began to stylize and abstract his subjects and his work became more abstract.
In 1966 Beerendonk was appointed as a curator at the Rembrandt House Museum in Amsterdam, where he gave demonstrations in the art of etching and also reprinted copper plates by Rembrandt.
Beerendonk's own etchings often show Amsterdam cityscapes and the landscape around Amsterdam, as Rembrandt must have seen it too.
He was a very passionate Pastelist, sculptor, watercolorist, graphic artist, collagist, painter, pen artist, etcher.
