<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mmarco102, post: 1747597, member: 8289&quot;]Short bio,</p><p>WILLEM DOOYEWAARD</p><p>Willem (1892-1980), the sixteen years younger brother of Jaap, was in many ways his polar opposite. Despite large differences in character and painterly views, the brothers liked each other a lot. Willem was adventurous and went on long trips. He went painting and drawing in the Dutch India, worked in Bali and went to China and Japan. He even crossed the virtually inaccessible Mongolia until Tibet. He was very impressed by these trips. All that had captivated him during his travels, he painted in a smooth impressionistic style. He developed a powerful and personal style. He exhibited many times abroad; in London, Brussels, New York, Berlin and Antwerp, and also in various cities in Netherlands. Back in the homeland, he found a new topic: the ballet dancer, which he showed in a variety of poses. He, however, continued to seek the light and travelled to the coast of southern France and North Africa in order to paint. Eventually he finally returned back to Netherlands and he moved with his wife Jacoba in with his brother Jaap in Blaricum in &#039; The 7 Linden &#039; in 1935. The brothers were reunited after many years: &#039;two very different artists, choosing for art in their lives.’[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
