Willem Bos (1906-1974)
Willem BOS: (Rotterdam 1906 - The Hague 1974)
He lived and worked in Rotterdam, Brussels, Antwerp and Paris. In 1924 he returned to Rotterdam. Wim Bos formed himself. In Rotterdam he was not only inspired by the loading and unloading activities in the ports and by shipping traffic. The work of well-known Rotterdam painters such as Van Mastenbroek, Evert Moll and Marinus Drulman also stimulated him to frequently choose port activities as a subject. He developed his own impressionistic style, which was close to that of Marinus the Younger. In addition to harbor views, he also painted, drew and watercolored lake views. His harbor views exude the typical atmosphere of the pre-war harbour, with coal firing, screaming steam whistles, rattling anchor chains in the vault hole, and squeaking and creaking cranes and loading booms. The harbor is still alive in the heart of Rotterdam. Watching ships at the quay is a Rotterdam pastime and every Rotterdammer gets goosebumps when the ship's horns sound on New Year's Eve. Wim Bos conveyed this emotion in his oil paintings. It was therefore all the more striking that Wim Bos rarely made his canvases in the harbour, even though it was so close by. He usually worked from postcards and reproductions, including photographs of his own paintings. After his death, these models were found around Wim Bos's easel, preserved by rain showers of oil paint and turpentine, which the painter had produced over the years while working. If you looked at it for a long time, you could smell the harbor.
