Albert Fiks, who died young, was a versatile and special talent. He was born in Germany and grew up in Amersfoort, where he later became a house painter and advertising artist and developed his artistic abilities under his own steam in the 1920s. His style of painting developed in a short time from realistic to cubist and even abstract. A solo exhibition was devoted to drawn portraits, cubist still lifes, landscapes and etchings from this period for the first time in 1935. In 1939 the artist moved to Laren. There he became acquainted with Bart van der Leck, Charley Toorop and Lou Loeber, whose work was a source of inspiration for him during this period. His oeuvre is small, but of high quality.
