Charles Eyck - 26 prints - 1972

About the Item

Artist: Both the beginning and the end of Charles Eyck's life (1897 - 1983) took place in the Dutch province of Limburg. In his life he produced paintings, sculptures, buildings and stained glass. After studying in Asmterdam he won the prestigious Prix de Rome in 1922. With the prize money he travelled through France and Italy to study art. Charles got inspired on his trip by fresco's and mosaic's from the 14th and 15th century, this influence can be spotted in a lot of his works later in his life. Eyck's work is still alive today as a lot of his assignments were for public institutes and churches which still can be visited. In the LImburg' village of Meerssen a chruch has been build that he designed. During the second world war he was not allowed to sell art as he did not join the "Nederlandsche Kultuurkamer", a conglomerate of artists producing Nazi-approved art. In his house in Valkenburg he provided shelter to people in hiding, among which Willem Sanderberg who later in life became the director of the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam.
