- Early (1925), self-printed woodcut "farm wagon" by Amsterdam autodidact Wim Bosma (1902-1985). Signed, dated and titled in pencil. In good condition.
Willem (Wim) Bosma (Amsterdam, September 21, 1902 - December 28, 1985) was a Dutch painter, watercolorist, graphic designer, monumental artist and muralist.
He was self-taught but did receive lessons from Piet van Wijngaerdt.
Bosma had a studio at Stadhouderskade 100 in Amsterdam. He painted and watercoloured landscapes, harbours, figures, railway viaducts, trains, boats and aircraft in a constructive expressionist style. His best-known works include the stations and harbours from the thirties, painted in a new-objective, realistic style. After 1945, other motifs besides technical subjects also entered his work. A favourite subject in his work was the African woman. Bosma was a lover of jazz music.
Wim Bosma's work has been purchased by the Centraal Museum in Utrecht, the Gemeentemuseum in The Hague, the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam and private collectors.
Bosma was a convinced communist and a member of the artists' association De Onafhankelijken, until this association joined the Nederlandsche Kultuurkamer during the Second World War. Membership of this institution affiliated with Nazi Germany was incompatible with Bosma's communist ideas.
