Patrick Bakker : ウィキペディア英語版 | Patrick Bakker
Patrick Bakker was born on 12 November 1910 in Apeldoorn, the Netherlands and died in Amsterdam on 28 December 1932. He was an accomplished Dutch artist in both oil paintings and pen or pastel drawings in the first half of the twentieth century. At the time of his death he was considered a "prodigy", in the words of Bénézit’s ''Dictionnaire'' (see Bibliography). Despite his short life, he left an amazingly large collection of rich works, characterised by an expressive freedom in his use of colour, confident draughtsmanship and controlled impetuosity. The renowned art critic Abraham Marie Hammacher spoke highly of him in ''Stromingen en persoonlijkheden : schets van een halve eeuw schilderkunst in Nederland, 1900-1950'' (p. 140, see Bibliography). == Biography == Patrick Bakker grew up in a cultured and well-to-do environment with many connections in the European art world, which strongly encouraged his early vocation. In his youth, he travelled extensively in the Netherlands as well as abroad (France, England, Germany, later Venice and Vienna), where he admired architecture, visited museums, practised his art and befriended a wide variety of people of all ages and backgrounds. In 1928, he left school before his finals and went to Amsterdam to work firstly with Geert Grauss, then, in 1929 – after a long illness – with Martin Monnikendam. In September 1931, despite his delicate health, he settled in Paris, studying first at the Académie Julian and Académie Colarossi, then, from Spring 1932 onwards, in Lucien Simon’s studio at the École des Beaux-Arts. He met many French and foreign artists who lived in the French capital at that time, including André Lhote, Fernand Léger, Conrad Kikkert and Piet Mondrian. There was a time when he spent every Sunday with Jacques-Émile Blanche, who also painted his portrait. He was also close to the young David Ogilvy and spent much time with the Russian émigré community. It was in fact with the Troubetskoy family, who were lent an outbuilding at the Château de l’Etoile, in the Touraine region, that Patrick Bakker was to live his last few weeks of creativity, during the summer of 1932, from which he brought back a series of remarkably fine ink drawings. In the autumn of that year he fell ill again and went for a rest with his family in Hilversum. He barely had the time to organise his first personal exhibition in Amsterdam when he went into hospital and died a month later at the age of twenty-two.
