Jentinus Ponne artwork • painting • for sale Rabbit

Jentinus Ponne regularly visited the studio of his fellow townsman Klaas Smink from an early age, whom he regarded as his teacher. Yet he far surpassed this artistically. Ponne was an expressionist who was able to very directly give his own interpretation of his rough brushed subjects. The landscape and still life were favorites. He was also stubborn: although Ponne sold well, he continued to work as an insurance agent throughout his life. In Meppel he formed the core of the Oasegroep and he was a member of the art circle 'De Drentse Schilders'.
