Théo Lohmann, « house Near The Hill », Early 20th Century - Post-impressionism - Netherlands

The Dutch painter Théo Lohmann (1880-1963) uses hatched touches on the background of the support and a contrast between blues color with ocher tones to depict this building leaning against a hill.
From a composition evoking the “School of Pont-Aven” and “Synthetism”, the painter gives an intensity to this landscape.

Théodore Wilhem Eduard known as Théo Lohmann was born in 1880 in Leiden and died in 1963 in Blaricum in the Netherlands.
He was a self-taught artist from Gooi, a neighborhood popular with artists in the east of Amsterdam.
Lohmann lived in a caravan for many years.
He was in close contact with Floris Verster, Bart van der Leck and Jan Toorop.
Lohmann traveled extensively and undertook an extensive walking tour across France.
Painter of terrestrial and urban landscapes, he was inspired by different styles. His art ranges from detailed and pointillist drawing, to post-impressionist and cubist landscapes, to “magish-realist” compositions.
Jan Toorop, in possession of certain drawings, says about him: “This young artist has an original way of seeing and feeling. And that says a lot. This is individual, pleasant, sensitive, joyful, sober, fresh and healthy work.”
Exhibitions by Théo Lohmann took place at the Stedelijk Museum in Lakenhal (Leiden) in 1964 and at the Rosa Spier Huis (Laren) in 1986. (source Christie's)
