Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox artist
Ans (Anna Maria) Wortel (18 October 1929, in Alkmaar, NetherlandsШаблон:Spaced ndash4 December 1996, in Hilvarenbeek, Netherlands) was a Dutch painter, poet and writer.[1] She made gouaches and oil paintings, aquarelles, drawings, collages, lithographs, etchings, sculptures and glass sculptures. She was an autodidact and won the first prize at the biennale of Paris in 1963. She was one of the leading female artists of postwar Dutch modern art.[2] There are some 50 books with contributions from or about Wortel.
Painting style
Wortel's work is strongly autobiographical. Her experiences as a girl, woman, mother and as an artist were the main source of her inspiration. Common themes are human emotions, love, relationships, mother/child relations and social criticism.
Until the late 1950s there was a search for a personal style. Artwork from that time varies and shows characteristics of different artists, such as Katsushika Hokusai, Willem de Kooning, Marc Chagall, Pablo Picasso, Wifredo Lam and Karel Appel. In the late 1950s her artistic style eventually flows into her very own style which is best described as abstract figurative art. It often consists of naked woman, man or child figures, sometimes recognizable, but always deformed. These human figures are together, search each other, embrace each other or repel each other. The figures are in unspecified spaces. The moon, the sun and the contours of the earth are often present in her work. Often her work is accompanied by handwritten poetical lines.
