    Provenance: coll. C. van Oven-Hansen, Groningen.
    Literature: Han Steenbruggen e.a., 'Job Hansen - door de wind getekend, door het licht gekleurd', Groninger Museum, Groningen 1997, pag. 137, cat.nr. 301 (als 'De tweede gracht').

    Job Hansen is one of the most fascinating painters of De Ploeg. As an architect he became a member of this Groningen painting society in 1923, and it was fellow member Jan Altink who then encouraged him to paint. As a self-taught artist, Hansen proceeded to develop a highly personal idiom based on an unconventional way of handling paint and support. He preferred to paint on plywood, first giving it a white ground. Onto this he applied diluted paint using both a broad brush as well as his fingertips and palms. For him the white base was a crucial visual element: it represented light and space, out of which his depictions loomed, sometimes barely recognisable. Hansen chiefly painted floral still lifes and landscapes.
