Willem (Wim) Bosma (Amsterdam, September 21, 1902 - December 28, 1985) was a Dutch painter, watercolorist, graphic designer, monumental artist and wall painter.
He was self-taught but did receive lessons from Piet van Wijngaerdt.
Bosma had a studio at Stadhouderskade 100 in Amsterdam. He painted and watercolored landscapes, harbours, figures, railway viaducts, trains, boats and flying machines in a constructive expressionist style. Among his best-known works are the stations and harbors from the 1930s, painted in a new businesslike, realistic style. After 1945, in addition to technical subjects, other motifs also entered his work. A favorite subject in his work was the African woman. Bosma was a lover of jazz music.
Work by Wim Bosma has been purchased by, among others, the Centraal Museum in Utrecht, the Gemeentemuseum The Hague, the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam and private collectors.
Bosma was a convinced communist and a member of the artists' association De Onhoudenen, until this association joined the Nederlandsche Kultuurkamer during the Second World War. For Bosma, membership of this institution affiliated with Nazi Germany was incompatible with his communist ideas.
Wim Bosma was the brother of Jan Johannes Bosma, landscape architect and designer of the Bijenpark in Amsterdam.
