Description

Own print by and signed by Anton Pieck in fine condition. Anton Franciscus Pieck (Den Helder, April 19, 1895 – Overveen, November 24, 1987) was a Dutch painter, draftsman, etcher and graphic artist. Anton Pieck is best known for his romantic drawings with lively scenes from an idealized nostalgic past and for his fairytale forest in De Efteling. As a book illustrator, Anton could compete with the great English examples from the 20th century and left an important mark on the image of world literature in Dutch translation.[1] Pieck's work was also popular on birth and Christmas cards, and several Pieck calendars still appear every year. The Anton Pieck Museum has been located in Hattem since 1984.
