Together with painters such as Gerard Adolfs, Frits Ohl is one of the Dutch-Indonesian artists who are now very popular. He was born in Palembang in 1904 and formed himself. In a smooth impressionist style, with extensive use of the palette knife, he painted workers in the rice fields, landscapes, animals and portraits. He lived and worked in Jakarta and Jogjakarta and settled permanently in The Hague in 1954.
