Aart Glansdorp artwork • painting • previously for sale Orchids in an oriental vase

Aart Glansdorp lived and worked in Rotterdam almost all his life, where as a teacher at the academy he left his mark on a younger generation of Rotterdam painters. His preference was to paint figures and flower still lifes, which he depicted in robust, simplified forms with a great sense of colour and light shades. In the 1920s, his still lifes were somewhat influenced by the Bergenians Colnot and Matthieu Wiegman.
