THE ITEM

DE KLEUR VAN LEO SCHATZ

Leo Schatz (Amsterdam, March 10, 1918 - October 4, 2014) was a Dutch painter, drawer and a poet.

Shortly after the war, Leo Schatz - as a former resistance fighter - was invited to Denmark by the Danish government. He became friends with various Danish painters and was impressed by the work of the French colourist Pierre Bonnard, whose work he saw there. Back in Amsterdam he experimented and made mostly expressionist canvases. He developed his own very colorful form of expressionism. Personal tragedy left a big mark on his work. When his daughter Irma died in 1984, she appeared many times in his works as a shadowy figure. After the sudden death of his wife in 2003, he could no longer paint due to the shock, but he found a new expression in his poems and drawings.

INTRODUCED WITH A CONTEMPLATION BY:

BERT SCHIERBEEK

Lambertus Roelof (Bert) Schierbeek (18 June 1918, Glanerbrug, Overijssel – 9 June 1996, Amsterdam) was a Dutch writer. He won numerous awards throughout his career, amongst them the 1991 Constantijn Huygens Prize.

During the German occupation, Schierbeek was part of the resistance movement; directly after the war (in 1945), he published his first, still conventional novel that dealt with exactly these experiences (translated, this novel reads as Terror against terror). Then, he wrote the first experimental novel in the Dutch language, which was published in 1951. Its title is Het boek Ik (The Book I) and apparently does not have any narrative structure; it seems to consist of poetic associations of 'loose' words and thoughts. It is the first in a trilogy. The other volumes are De andere namen (The Other Names) and De derde persoon (The Third Person).

Bert Schierbeek was also part of COBRA, an internationalist artistical movement that intended to renew and modernise the postwar visual arts and poetry (with members like Karel Appel, Hugo Claus, Corneille and Lucebert).
