The Theo Thijssen Monument was designed by Jan Wolkers and unveiled on 16 June 2005. See also the 16th photo.
Theodorus Johannes (Do) Thijssen (Amsterdam, 16 June 1879 - ibid., 23 December 1943) was a Dutch writer, teacher and socialist politician. His best-known book is Kees de jongen (1923), which is set in the Amsterdam Jordaan.
On Tuesday afternoon, December 28, 1943, five days after his death, Theo Thijssen was buried in a rented grave at the Nieuwe Oosterbegraafplaats in the Watergraafsmeer in Amsterdam, not far from his house of death on the Bredeweg. When the burial rights expired, the grave was cleared in 1955. On the initiative of the director of the cemetery and in collaboration with the Theo Thijssen Foundation, it was decided to place a memorial at the site of his grave. Jan Wolkers was asked to design this monument.
Information about the artist:
Jan Hendrik Wolkers (Oegstgeest, 26 October 1925 – Westermient, 19 October 2007) was a Dutch writer, sculptor and painter. He became known with the novels Terug naar Oegstgeest (1965) and Turks fruit (1969). He refused several prizes, including the Constantijn Huygens Prize (awarded in 1982) and the PC Hooft Prize (1989).
Despite his great fame as a writer, Wolkers has always indicated that he considered himself first and foremost a sculptor.
