Gerard Hordyk
Gerard Hordyk Watercolor - Bathers

Circa 1940's

About the Item

Beautiful gouache of the shoreline by Dutch artist Gerard Hordyk (Hordijk) 1899-1958. The work is in excellent condition with strong bright color and is signed lower right. Bathers can be seen along the bank. The painting is matted and unframed and measures 15 1/4"h x 18"w. Gerard Hordijk was born in The Hague in 1899 and died in Amsterdam in 1958. This almost forgotten Dutch artist differed greatly in style, subjects and views from the painters who joined the famous art movement of the time, the so-called “De Stijl”. But there is a link between Hordijk and “De Stijl”. In 1927, when Hordijk was in Paris, he lived together with the famous artist Piet Mondriaan (who was one of the founders of “De Stijl”), in the studio complex on the Rue du Départ in Paris. In that year he made a portrait of Piet Mondriaan. The two painters became close and lifelong friendship. Despite years of friendship with Piet Mondriaan, abstract stylistic features have never taken hold of Gerard Hordijk's painting. His work remained figurative throughout his career. He was not interested in innovative painting, which was the goal of his friend Piet Mondriaan, but he 'merely' wanted to capture the reality he admired (people, landscapes, cityscapes) in a personal handwriting and self-chosen color palette.
