Herman Berserik trained at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague. Herman (Hermanus) Berserik lived in Rijswijk for many years (from 1960 to 1986). But despite this, Berserik was undeniably part of the Hague art world, including as a teacher at the Hague Academy of Visual Arts from 1958 to 1978 and as an active member of the Pulchri Studio painting society. Herman Berserik also worked as an illustrator.
Berserik made hundreds of paperback covers for Salamander and Stork. He traveled to North Africa, Syria and Lebanon. He leaves behind a rich collection of paintings: Berserik's love for light and water can be recognized in his work in the Shape of Ships, Bridges, Locks. He also painted landscapes, still lifes, cyclists, dolls, toys and bottles, self-portraits and cityscapes.
His work can be found in the Hague Municipal Museum, the Museum for Communication (Postmuseum) in The Hague and the National Collection.
The work can be picked up in Borne, Overijssel. Pick-up in The Hague is also an option, in consultation. This is only possible by appointment.
