Jan Sluijters
Jan Sluyters was born on December 17, 1881 in 's-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands.
In 1901 he studied at the Amsterdam Academy of Fine Arts, along with his friend and colleague Leo Gestel.
He came after a study trip to France under the influence of Fauvism. In 1913 he took part in Berlin with three images on the First German Autumn Salon.
Three years later he joined the Amsterdam artist society Arti et Amicitiae. It is noteworthy that in 1929 a jury member for the selection of the first Miss Holland was, perhaps because he knew how to judge the beauty of the female body. Sluijters also produced posters ( affiches ) and designed book covers.
Sluijters painted some landscapes, but especially portraits of women, often as an act this time were not without controversy, especially since he also painted black women. In addition, he created some portraits of children and designed - for economic reasons - also advertising posters.
His style developed from the symbolism of the Art Nouveau; after that he was influenced by Cubism and Futurism. Later he returned to more realistic representations.
Many of his works can be seen in the Noordbrabants Museum in 's- Hertogenbosch.
