The Amsterdam artist Andries van Gool felt strongly attracted to a realistic way of painting because of his secondary profession of architectural draftsman. His subjects matched that. His oeuvre mainly comprises landscapes, still lifes and flowers, accurately and objectively rendered. His work was thus diametrically opposed to that of the expressionists and, after 1948, of the abstract expressionists affiliated with the COBRA group. Van Gool was a student of Jack Hamel and Jos Rovers and was himself a teacher of Bob Immink, among others.
