Jan Cremer studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Arnhem. He lived and worked in Amsterdam.
From a young age, Jan Cremer was a highly original and passionate artist, willing to do anything to be able to work. At his first solo exhibition at Galerie De Posthoorn in The Hague in 1958, critics – barely recovered from the riots surrounding CoBrA – described him as a "ferocious beast." His participation in the Hague Salon (1958) became a scandal. A year later, he exhibited at the Gemeentemuseum Den Haag and in 1960 at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam. Meanwhile, Cremer was working on his first book, "Ik Jan Cremer," which was published in the Netherlands in 1964 and has since been published in millions of copies in many languages. During the same period, more than a hundred exhibitions of his visual art followed in museums and galleries in the Netherlands and abroad. With the initial proceeds from his book, Jan Cremer left for America at the end of 1964. In New York, he began painting Dutch landscapes. This highly colorful and especially tightly composed "Dutch Realism," featuring cows, farm women, and tulip fields, marked a break from the highly abstract expressionist work of the preceding years. The theme of Dutch landscapes recurs throughout Cremer's entire oeuvre, but the steppes, deserts, and mountain ranges of Siberia and Mongolia, regions he frequently visited, also serve as a constant source of inspiration.
In between, he stayed for shorter or longer periods in Berlin, London, or Amsterdam, where he primarily created lithographs. In 1972, Cremer produced his first film documentary, "The Long White Trail," about his expedition with the Inuit in northwest Greenland. As a reporter, he traveled extensively throughout the world. Cremer successfully combined his work with his love of travel and wanderlust. He traveled six months a year, dividing the rest of his time between painting and writing, preferably in the South of France or Switzerland. Jan Cremer passed away on June 19, 2024, at the age of 84.
