The birth of new cubism – 27-07-14
Part of the ‘birth of new cubism’ series. For this one I used an old photograph I suspect might be from the 1950s.

A view on Castle Duivenvoorde at Voorschoten, Netherlands. Not quite satisfied with this one. I think it’s too stiff.
A realistic / impressionistic pastel drawing of estate ‘Oosterbeek’, at The Hague, Netherlands.
Another drawing that marks the beginning of my search for a renewal of cubism.
The first of two drawings at one day on the same theme. This one is the minimalistic cubist one.
I was inspired by Mondriaan’s orange mill when I did this piece. I executed it in quite expressionistic colours.
Part of the ‘sans titre’ series, being the depiction of old moviestars in a cubist style. I sold this one to a guy who recognized Brigitte Bardot and in fact she is.
After the start of the ‘birth of new cubism’ series I got the hang of it and sometimes made 2 drawings at one day just to give shape to my ideas.
A cubistic drawing in which I started to divide the negative space into planes by extending the dimensions of body parts to the borders of the paper.
A drawing of Marlène Dietrich in the ‘sans titre’ series done in cubistic planes. I love the tonality of such pictures, enabling me to create a lot of depth, expression and character.
An early very abstract cubist pastel that I like to do. The planes look so scatteered that I decided to call it ‘elementary particles’. It’s in Quatar now bought by a private collector.
Longing for spring makes me post this one. I closely studied Camille Pisarro and saw leaves, blossom transcending into the negative space around it very gradually.
Pastel drawing of the main canal at royal estate ‘De Horsten’, near Wassenaar, Netherlands. It’s owned by a Chinese collector now.
A pastel of the ‘Berg en Dal’ series, an investigation after different styles of doing landscapes.
A view on the hills of Berg en Dal, at Gelderland, Netherlands.
An impressionistic view on Berg en Dal, near Nijmegen, Gelderland, Netherlands and part of a series.
A rather expressionistic approach to one of my favourite spots in The Netherlands – Berg en Dal, near Nijmegen where I grew up.
With this pastel I was unfolding my way of cubism with different means than graphite only. This one is in Scotland in the hands of a private collector.
Scenery at the Hatert Meres between Nijmegen and Overasselt, Gelderland, Nederland. It is purchased by a Chinese collector through Artplu, China.
A pastel drawing of a nude in red with only a tiny touch of yellow.
A pastel of the ‘Berg en Dal’ series, an investigation after different styles of doing landscapes.
A quick sketch of an old picture I once found that I quickly sold to one of my students.
An expressionistic way to depict the Hatert Meres near Nijmegen, Netherlands.
A striking building at the estate ‘Vreugd en Rust’ at Voorburg, Zuid-Holland, Netherlands where I wander about often, taking photos and sketching. This one I did in the burning sun for 20 minutes max.
Sketch of the wife of a student of mine at Zeeland, Netherlands. I got het off-guard for 5 minutes and captured her.
Found a pastel in the ‘garbage’ map of pastels that I found to be not very bad after all. Takes me back a couple of years when I did a lot of hatching.
An oil painting of Henriëtte Sibie, who sits for me quite frequently, most of the times at Studio Brugman.
One I did as a commission. It’s a combination of straight planes and round forms putting the stress on the model’s movements.
One of the early paintings in a distint different cubist style I was searching for. It was my first sales on Saatchiart and my type of cubism has developed into a variety I call ’roundism’.
