About the artist
Johannes (Joop) Vreugdenhil was born July 18, 1904 in The Hague and died on April 28, 1969. Joop Vreugdenhil attended the Academy of Visual Arts in The Hague. He was a painter, draftsman and lithographer. After the Second World War, Vreugdenhil started working figuratively in an expressionist style. Initially his painting were expressionistically tinted figurative representations until he started to focus on making geometric abstract compositions in the 1960s. The task he set himself was to arrive at a harmonic arrangement of the rectangular elements with which he built up his compositions. His proces of painting was preceded by a process of careful consideration of dimensions, mutual proportions, of shape and color until a balance was reached. He made many trips to France. He was a member of the Haagse Posthoorngroep from 1956 to 1962. He was also a member of Pulchri Studio. His work is included in the Dutch National Collection.

- Cobra Painting ERNST VIJLBRIEF Original Oil on Canvas, 1960s, Signed & DatedLocated in AMSTERDAM, NLpowerful work “Snake in wonderland” by Ernst Vijlbrief (1938-2010). The expressive brushstrokes are typical for the style of Vijlbrief, connecting him to CoBrA and the expressive action paintings of Karel Appel.

Ernst Vijlbrief, born November 25th, 1934, in Utrecht studied at the Institute for Applied Arts Education in Amsterdam and at the Academia di Porta Romana in Florence (1956-1959). In the late fifties, after moving to Amsterdam in 1958, he painted in an expressive style, similar to CoBrA. In 1961 he took part in the large exhibition “Jongere Nederlandse schilders, beeldhouwers en architekten: Liga Nieuw Beelden” in the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam. Next to his work as an artist, Vijlbrief was an engaged board member of several artist associations, like the Beroepsvereniging van Beeldende Kunstenaars (Professional Association of Visual Artists). In 1973 he cofounded Bond van Beeldende Kunstarbeiders (BBKA) in Utrecht, with artist Bob Bonies. His work is held in collections of the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, the Cobramuseum in Amstelveen, Stedelijk Museum Schiedam, The Rijksmuseum Amsterdam and The Ferens Art Gallery UK.
