Jaap Schreurs (The Hague, November 19, 1913 - Utrecht, February 16, 1983) was a Dutch painter and graphic artist in the neo-figurative style. ==Life== Schreurs was born as Jacobus Schreurs in The Hague, Netherlands, to Jacobus Lambertus Keizer and his common-law wife Nelly Schreurs. His father was a painter in the style of the Hague School. As a child, Jaap often accompanied his father when he went into the countryside to paint the Dutch landscape, and he let the child have a go at it too. In his teens Schreurs joined a group of boys who went to the polders for the day, painting and drawing. Afterwards the boys' efforts were seriously examined and commented on by Jaap’s father, who insisted on the importance of perfection and professional skill〔Baart-Heringa, Th.E.

He studied at the Royal Academy of Art and the Free Academy of Visual Art in The Hague.〔〔Soestbergen, Annemiek van (2000), ‘Jaap Schreurs, een schuwe schilder met zinderende zeggingskracht’. Tijdschrift Museum Amstelkring, Amsterdam, 2000.〕 His teachers were Christiaan de Moor and Francis de Erdely.〔 After he had finished his studies, he installed himself as a professional painter, and led the life of a poor but hard-working artist. During World War II he had to go into hiding because he refused to sign the so-called ‘declaration of Aryan descent’ (‘Ariërverklaring’), which the Nazi racial policy required from every artist. From that moment on, he was punishable by law. Schreurs moved to Utrecht in the early 1950s. He led a rather secluded life and refused to become a member of an art society or to conform to any contemporary school of painting. He wanted to develop his own style independently and had no ambition to become a career painter. He also declined the BKR artist subsidy and its forerunners the Dutch state granted to artists from 1949 onwards because he objected to such subsidies in principle. In 1983 Schreurs died of a cardiac arrest. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jaap Schreurs」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
