Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates
The Amsterdamse Joffers were a group of women artists who met weekly in Amsterdam at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century. They supported each other in their professional careers. Most of them were students of the Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten and belonged to the movement of the Amsterdam Impressionists. Each one became a successful artist. As a group they contributed to the social acceptance in the Netherlands of women becoming professional artists.
Origin and development
Beginning
In 1894, Lizzy Ansingh and Coby Ritsema began their studies at the Rijksacademie in a separate class for female students.[1] Around them, a group of young women, mostly fellow-students, came together to found a circle. The purpose was to exchange experiences as women who wanted to become professional artists. They had weekly meetings at the residence of Thérèse Schwartze, an established painter who was Ansingh´s aunt.[2]
They came from wealthy and artistic families, and did not depend on painting for their livelihoods. Almost all of them were students of the Rijksakademie and followed classes with August Allebé, Nicolaas van der Waay and Carel Dake. Suze Robertson was in certain ways an exception in the group. She was older, already married and had studied at the Delft University of Technology. Nelly Bodenheim was an illustrator, not a painter like the other members. Ansingh, Ritsema, Robertson, Jacoba Surie and Betsy Westendorp-Osieck were members of artist associations Arti et Amicitiae, kunstvereniging Sint Lucas and Pulchri Studio.
Ritsema is considered the most talented of the group.[3] She initially received her education at the Haarlem School of Art before joining the women´s group at the Rijksakademie. She was influenced by Dutch impressionists such as her brother Jacob Ritsema, George Hendrik Breitner and Fredrik Theodorus Grabijn. Some of Ritsema´s students were Jacoba Surie, Jan van den Hengst, Tine Honey, Victoire Winix and Lize Duyvis.
Starting around 1900, at the annual art exhibitions of the artist societies Sint Lucas in the Stedelijk Museum, Arti et Amicitiae and Pulchri Studios, works of Ansingh, Ritsema and Robertson were exhibited and favourably received.[4]
Individual recognition
In the first decade of the 20th century, the members of the circle were regularly present at the annual art exhibits of artist societies in Amsterdam. In 1905 Ansing, Ritsema and Marie van Regteren-Altena participated in a collective exhibit in Hamburg. In 1906, Ansingh received the Willink van Collenprijs, a prestigious recognition for young artists. In 1907, members of the group participated in an exhibition of international masters in the Stedelijk Museum. In 1910, Ritsema won the bronze medal at the Brussels international. At that time, the young women were established artists. In 1919, Ansingh and Ritsema became the first female board members with voting rights of the Arti and Amicitiae artist association.[5]
Collective recognition: the group adopts a name
Albert Plasschaert, art critic and pen friend of Ansingh, named the group Amsterdamse Joffers in a newspaper article in 1912.[6] The term Amsterdamsche Joffers, as it was spelled at the time, was known because of an unrelated historical novel by Marie van Zeggelen from 1900.[7] The novel carried illustrations by Ansingh. The name stuck, not in the least because the artists themselves, already approaching their 40´s, used it frequently.[5] The word Joffer means maiden, Miss or young lady. In the 1920´s and under the name Amsterdam Joffers the group frequently exhibited their work at Kunstzaal Frans Buffa, an Amsterdam art gallery.[8] A 1947 book by Johan van Eikeren consolidated the expression Amsterdamse Joffers in Dutch art history.[9] The separate class for women at the Rijksacademie was long gone.
Style and subject
The Amsterdamse Joffers used different styles but in general terms are part of the Amsterdam Impressionism art movement. Their subject choice is dominated by still life and portraiture. Ansing was famous for her paintings of dolls.
The female painters of the Amsterdam Impressionism belonged to a later generation than the French female impressionists Marie Bracquemond (1840–1916), Mary Cassatt (1845–1926), Eva Gonzalès (1847–1893) and Berthe Morisot (1841–1895). Characteristic of the french female impressionists is the powerful, light-filled color palette with lively motifs. The Joffers used colours typical of the leading Dutch impressionist movement, the Hague School. These darker colours create a quieter and more melancholic atmosphere. The French women painters preferred landscape painting of coasts, harbors and countryside with views of the city, together with still life and portrait. The Dutch women chose almost exclusively still life and portrait. The style and subject of each group reflect the time and context in which they worked, which is in a way the essence of impressionism.
Members of the circle
The 1947 book by Johan van Eikeren identified eight artists as Amsterdamse Joffers: Ansingh, Ritsema, van den Berg, Bauer-Stumpff, Bodenheim, Westendorp-Osieck, Surie and van Regteren-Altena. Other analysts often include also Robertson and Ansingh´s sister, Sorella Therese. The influence of host and mentor Theresa Schwartz is also often recognized. Although Suze Robertson is sometimes named as one of the Joffers, she is not one of them.
