About the artist: Frits Rudolf Alexander Van Eeden was born in March 1944 in Tilburg, evolved into an internationally recognized artist. Attendance in "De Vrije School" in The Hague stimulated his creative mind, interest, and ability in the Arts. His early interest was promoted by private teachers such as Ed Stralitski, Theo Bitter, Wim Beuning, Bram Roth, Derk Bus, and Jan Goeting. All renowned artist members of the "Pulchri Studio", home of the famous "Hague School". After studying at the "Rietveld Acadamy" under Ben Guntenaar (Sculptor), Van Eeden was offered membership to the "Pulchri Studio" where he pursued sculpting and painting. He was the first member to be admitted in more than one discipline, which shows in the "3-D" quality of his paintings. After participating in shows at the "Pulchri Studio", he participated in group and one-man show throughout Europe and Asia. The Ministry of Culture, Recreation, and Social Works (CRM) provided Van Eeden with a Stipendium to study the work of Henry Moore, the dream of most young sculptors. This influence prevails to this day. A trip to the United States availed Van Eeden, the opportunity to see the work of students at Harvard, where he found that their work was similar to that of Academy-level in Europe. After this experience, he made his semi-annual visit to Florida, wherein 1979 he entered a juried competition at the Artist Forum of the Brevard Art Center and Museum of Melbourne. His work, two life-size sculptures of horses, won best-in-show. The award is a "One-Man-Show" at the museum, only the second time such honor has been awarded. Under a grant from The State of Florida, Van Eeden was given the position of Artist-in-Residence at the museum and served on-and-off as a major instructor for 30 years. Frits Van Eeden is currently recognized by many of the World Art Critics and shows often in Europe, The Caribbean, and the United States. At last count, he has participated in nearly one hundred single and group shows. (Credit: Frits Van Eeden web-site).
