Jits Bakker ( 1937- 2014 ) Golf Player, Bronze Statue Signed Height 26 cm. Free shipping Jits Bakker (Renkum 1937- 2014 Wageningen) worked for over 50 years as an independent and versatile artist. From 1969 he devoted himself fully to his profession as an artist. He settled in his studio "de Kooi" with sculpture garden in De Bilt and in Andalusia in the south of Spain and later also in the Belgian Ardennes. Sculpture in bronze and marble was his great passion, but he was also active as a painter, glassmaker, graphic artist and jewelry designer. Jits' images generally have a great dynamic; expressive movement and exuberance are characteristic of his work. But "silent" and intimate images are also part of his oeuvre. From 1959 onwards, Bakker exhibited in Germany and abroad. Bakker was also the creator of the Jaap Eden Trophy (1972) and various other (sports) prizes. In addition to sports, he found inspiration in mythology and music. Since 1999, the Beerschoten estate in De Bilt has housed a museum collection of more than 30 monumental sculptures. The artist's great wish was to make his work freely accessible to the public and it is freely accessible every day from sunrise to sunset.
