Product description
🙏🏼💫❤️
Maria (Rie) Gerarda Cornelia Knipscheer (Amsterdam, April 6, 1911 - Laren (N.H.), February 13, 2003) was a Dutch visual artist: painter, graphic artist, illustrator, draftsman, and book cover designer.
Life and work
Knipscheer was born in Amsterdam, the daughter of pharmacist Dr. Hermanus Marinus Knipscheer and Marie Görlach.
She trained as a doctor's assistant, but was also encouraged by her parents to pursue an artistic education.
She received her training at the graphic arts department of the Institute for Applied Arts Education in Amsterdam, where she was taught by graphic artist Jan Bertus Heukelom and painter Gerard Westermann.
At the Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten in Amsterdam, she worked with Johannes Hendricus Jurres and Hendrik Jan Wolter. She worked as a visual artist for 75 years, from 1926 to 1991.
From 1933, she was a member of the artists' association Arti et Amicitiae in Amsterdam. She was also a member of the Amsterdam artists' association Sint Lucas. Her first independent exhibition took place in The Hague in 1942.
She did not resist her membership in the Nederlandsche Kultuurkamer (Dutch Chamber of Culture), which was required by the German occupying forces, and was therefore able to continue exhibiting during World War II. Knipscheer was not only a painter and graphic artist, but also created illustrations for various publishers, designed book covers, and was an advertising artist.
Rie Knipscheer married Jakob Rooker, born in 1908 in Hoogwoud, on March 29, 1956, in Amsterdam.
