biography of Engelbert L'Hoëst

Engelbert L'Hoëst was born in Amersfoort in 1919 and was a pupil of the much older painter A.C. Sleeswijk in the 1930s. Getting acquainted with the work of Appel and Corneille led to his first abstract experiments in 1948; small canvases, often with childishly painted figures and animals. After he had opted for a more ordered, colourful arrangement of forms framed by deep contours, his work became completely abstract after 1954. At that time he painted in France, Spain and Portugal, where he developed a powerful and personal expressionism in almost complete isolation. The main theme was the drama of the landscape. Museums: including Singer Museum and Laren.
