Product description
Van Velde was born in Zoeterwoude-Rijndijk in 1895, the son of merchant Willem van Velde and Hendrika Catharina van der Voorst. After completing primary school, Van Velde went to work for a house painter. He developed from a house painter and decorative painter to a fine artist. In 1922, he settled in Worpswede, Germany, and from 1925 onwards worked in Paris, where his brother Geer van Velde joined him for a time, and on the French island of Corsica. In the 1930s, the brothers met the Irish writer Samuel Beckett in Paris, who published works on both artists. This contact, which intensified after World War II, sparked interest in their work, and they were invited to exhibitions, first in Paris and later in New York and elsewhere. Works by Van Velde can be found in museum collections in England, France, the Netherlands, the United States, and Switzerland. Van Velde died in 1981 at the age of 86 in Grimaud, France. A color lithograph after the work of Bram van Velde, monogrammed at the bottom left of the plate, from a French limited edition of 1989.
