ABOUT







Jan Toorop

Jan Toorop was a Dutch-Indonesian painter and illustrator, b. Purworejo, Java, Dutch East Indies, 1858, the son of a Dutch-Indonesian father and a British mother. In 1869, he left Indonesia for the Netherlands, where he studied in Delft and Amsterdam and at the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam. From 1882 until 1886 he lived in Brusselss, where he joined Les XX (Les Vingts), a group of artists grouped around James Ensor. He developed his own unique Symbolist style, with dynamic, unpredictable lines based on Javanese motifs, highly stylized willowy figures, and curvilinear designs, and is considered as one of artists that represent the art nouveau and Viennese Secession movements. In 1905 he converted to Catholicism and began producing religious works. He also created book illustrations, posters, and stained glass designs. Toorop died in 1928 in Den Haag, The Netherlands.
