Nina on Holiday by Kees Salentijn, Screenprint (Silkscreen) on paper nr. 277/500. The Netherlands, 1970s. This screenprint by Dutch artist Kees Salentijn is part of the artist’s graphic oeuvre from the 1970s, a period in which he explored figurative imagery through experimental printmaking techniques. As Salentijn is a Dutch artist, the original title is appropriately presented here as 'Nina op Vakantie'.
Salentijn is recognized for his experimental use of materials and techniques, as well as for drawing inspiration from Southern European culture, particularly Spain. His work often combines figurative representation with a relaxed, narrative atmosphere, capturing moments of leisure, travel, and everyday observation.
Executed as a silkscreen (screenprint), the composition demonstrates clear, layered color application and graphic clarity characteristic of the medium. The female figure is rendered with a balance of stylization and recognizability, conveying a sense of ease and informality consistent with the theme of travel and vacation.
The print is signed in pencil by the artist and bears an edition number, indicating its place within a larger but finite print run. Such signed and numbered screenprints represent a significant and accessible part of post-war Dutch graphic art, appealing to collectors of modern prints and works on paper. Dimensions Frame: Height 61 Width 51 cm. Visual: Height 38 Width 29 cm.
