Jaap Wagemaker Biography

(b Haarlem, 6 Jan 1906; d Amsterdam, 26 Jan 1972). Dutch painter and sculptor. He trained from 1920 in the decorative arts department of the School voor Bouwkunde, Versierende Kunsten en Kunstambachten in Haarlem. He was self-taught as a painter. In his early work the influences of Constant, Permeke and Herman Kruyder are noticeable. He made regular trips to Paris, in the company of Piet van Egmond (1889–1965), and in 1946 he moved to Amsterdam. His discovery of the work of matter painters Jean Dubuffet, Jean Fautrier, Wols and Alberto Burri led him to adopt matter painting in 1955. He had an exhibition at Galerie le Canard in Amsterdam and participated in a group exhibition at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam in 1957.
