Marinus Johannes Drulman, (Amsterdam, 4 July 1912 - Rotterdam, 30 June 1977), known by the pseudonym Marius de Jongere, was a Dutch watercolourist, etcher, draftsman, graphic artist and painter. He is particularly known as a painter of the Rotterdam harbours.
Biography
Drulman worked and lived mainly in Rotterdam and is known as a typical Rotterdam painter because of his harbour scenes. However, he originally came from Amsterdam.
Drulman studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rotterdam. As an artist he used the pseudonym Marius de Jongere; this was a reference to his stepfather, the painter and etcher Marius Janssen. Only during the German occupation did he sign his work with the name Drulman, because artists were not allowed to work under a pseudonym at that time.[1]
His style was naturalistic-impressionistic. He had his most productive period in the fifties and sixties, at the time of the rise of the Rotterdam ports. Drulman became known for harbour views, like Evert Moll and his contemporary Cornelis van der Zwalm. Besides harbours and ships, he also painted portraits and landscapes, often of the polder landscape around his studio in Hillegersberg. He owned a house in Switzerland, where he made a number of mountain landscapes.[2][1]
He was a member of the Rotterdam Artists' Society.[3] He travelled to Belgium, Germany, France and Switzerland.
The Kamper Museum, among others, owns work by Drulman. According to several sources, American Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson bought five landscapes in Drulman's studio during a visit to the Netherlands in the 1960s.[4]
