Nicolas Mathieu Eekman (9 August 1889 – 13 November 1973), known as Nico Eekman, Nic Eekman and Ekma, was a Flemish figurative painter.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nicolaseekman.com/siteuk/reperes.html )〕 He illustrated many books, notably ''The Destinies'' by Alfred de Vigny (1933), ''Beer‐Drinker's Tales'' by Charles Deulin (1945), ''Tyl Ulenspiegel'' by Charles de Coster (1946) and ''Culotte the Donkey'' by Henri Bosco (1950). He is also notable for his drawings, watercolours and engravings. ==Biography== Eekman was born in Brussels in the house where Victor Hugo wrote Les Misérables. At 18, Eekman gave his first lecture in Brussels titled ''The unknown Van Gogh'' who in 1907 was an unacknowledged artist by the general public. In 1912, he went to see the first Van Gogh exhibition in Cologne, Germany. After graduating as an architect from the Fine Arts Academy in Brussels, he took refuge during the First World War in the presbytery of Nuenen, where Bart de Ligt was a pastor. Thirty years earlier, the Van Gogh family lived in the same presbytery, where Vincent created The Potato Eaters. Up until the end the war, Eekman exhibited his work frequently in Dutch museums and collectors purchased some of his artwork, primarily Helene Kröller-Müller. A few months after a great retrospective at the Reflets Gallery in Brussels, he died on 13 November 1973 in Paris. He was buried at the Ivry Cemetery. 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「Nicolas Eekman」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
