About the artist:

Willem Karel Rees was a Dutch artist known for his expressionistic and figurative paintings. He was born in Haarlem and studied at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam. He started his career as a graphic artist, but later switched to painting.

Rees was part of the Amsterdam School of artists, which was characterized by a distinctive expressionistic style. His paintings often feature bold, vibrant colours and dynamic brushstrokes, conveying a sense of movement and emotion.

Rees' subject matter varied widely, ranging from portraits and still lifes to landscapes and cityscapes. He was particularly interested in capturing the everyday life of people in Amsterdam and other cities, and his works often depict scenes from cafes, streets, and markets.

Rees' work was exhibited widely in the Netherlands and abroad, including at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. He was a member of the Nederlandse Kring van Tekenaars (Dutch Circle of Artists) and the Amsterdamse Kunstenaarsvereniging De Onafhankelijken (Amsterdam Artists Association The Independents).

Today, Rees is considered one of the leading Dutch expressionist painters of the 20th century, and his work is highly sought after by collectors.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Charcoal

Drawing made with a branch of Willow or charcoal of charred Europe. It enables to obtain very deep blacks, precise traces, thin or on the contrary very broad, depending on the way it is used.

Gouache

The substances are diluted with water and rendered pasty and opaque by the addition of gum and honey. The colors become opaque and can, therefore, be superimposed, which makes one paint with gouache as with oil. The gouache is recommended by its bright, fresh and delicate tones.

Technic Drawing

Drawing is a technique of visual representation on a flat support. The term "drawing" designates both the action of drawing, the resulting graphic work, and the shape of any object. It is also a representation on a surface of the shape (and possibly the light and shadow values) of an object or figure, rather than their color. There are a large number of drawing techniques: “Linear drawing” represents objects by their outlines, edges and some characteristic lines; beyond this limit, the drawing develops by representing the volume by shadows, often by means of hatching, incorporates colors, and joins, without clear transition, the painting.
