Jurjen de Haan (The Hague, March 13, 1936 − ibid., March 8, 2018) was a Dutch sculptor and painter.
With other representatives of new realism he has in common that he studied, between 1955 and 1960, at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague. Between 1963 and 1991 he was a teacher at the Hogeschool voor de Kunsten in Arnhem. He was a teacher of Arja van den Berg and Paul Damsté, among others. De Haan initially focused on photorealism and gradually began to focus more on large multicoloured abstract paintings that evoke an imaginative and slightly carefree world. Often several artists from the aforementioned group contributed to such paintings.
The premature death of his partner Maarten van Dreven (Sneek, 1941 - The Hague, 2001) has not affected the Cobra-like colour palette of his paintings, but the dreamy and reckless aspects have since become a thing of the past.
