Gerard Esser (1908 - 1983), activist, poet and painter.
He was taught by Henri Boot and was a member of the Amersfoort artists' association De Ploegh for some time. He was an animal lover, he literally stood up for animals. In the late sixties and early seventies he was regularly in the newspapers because he had started a petition to collect signatures against the hunting of young seals. A petition to which he devoted himself for many years.
"Gerard Esser is therefore the most consistent and unconditional embodiment of the committed painter, who rejects his work as a commercial sales article and wants to make it exclusively subservient to his struggle: for the animals and against man, who behaves towards other animals like a monstrous mass murderer and executioner."
Hs. R. in Algemeen Handelsblad (12 February 1970).
Work by Gerard Esser is rarely offered.
