Biography: Theo Beerendonk
The oeuvre of Theo Beerendonk (1905-1979) reflects the stormy developments that art went through in the twentieth century. Beerendonk quickly built up an impressive oeuvre with portraits, still lifes and nudes that stood out due to their idiosyncratic use of colour.
Theodorus Hendricus Johannes (Theo) Beerendonk studied from 1925 to 1931 at the Rijksacademie van Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam, where he received a solid classical painting education under the guidance of professors JH Jurres and Hendrik Jan Wolter. In the thirties Beerendonk made a splash with daring nudes, in the tradition of his great predecessors George Hendrik Breitner, Isaac Israëls and Jan Sluijters. In addition, he painted portraits, still lifes, flowers, figures and landscapes, and he also devoted himself to etching, in which he achieved true mastery. He mastered all techniques, from dry needle and mezzotint to aquatint and vernis-mou. He was a member of various organizations: Maatschappij Rembrandt 1944, St.-Lucas Amsterdam 1944, Arti et Amicitiae Amsterdam as a member until 1956 and as 2nd chairman from 1957.
After World War II he began to stylize and abstract his subjects and his work became more abstract.
In 1966, Beerendonk was appointed curator at the Rembrandt House Museum in Amsterdam, where he gave demonstrations of etching and also reprinted Rembrandt's copper plates.
Beerendonk's own etchings mainly show cityscapes of Amsterdam and the landscape surrounding Amsterdam, as Rembrandt must have seen it.
