Artist
Herman (Hermanus Cornelis) van Valen (1916-1996). Qualifications: graphic artist, painter, sculptor, enameler, monumental artist. Born in Eindhoven on January 6, 1916. He moved to Amsterdam in 1941, where he studied with Willy Broers, the founder of the "Vrij Beelden" group. After World War II, Herman van Valen met the Cobra artist Constant Nieuwenhuys, who helped him discover his own direction, his own world in art. For van Valen, this world consists primarily of the cosmos and the planets, a recurring theme in his work. Many of his etchings and paintings feature the cosmos as a motif. He populates his spatial world with suns, planets, and female figures. Herman van Valen's work is represented in national and municipal collections and by various private collectors in the Netherlands, the United States, Canada, and Japan. From 1962 onward, Herman van Valen regularly exhibited his etchings and paintings, first in his own gallery, Orpheus, and later in various other galleries and exhibition spaces. Herman van Valen died on June 11, 1996.
