Provenance: part. coll. Bergen (N.H.).
Literature: Piet Spijk, Dorris Kuyken-Schneider, Cootje Buisman, 'Piet Wiegman (1885-1963). Schilder van de Bergense School, graficus - ceramist - poppensnijder', Alkmaar z.j., pag. 118 (met afb. van een ander exemplaar) en pag. 263, cat.nr. G 24.

After working for a number of years as a laborer and butcher, Piet Wiegman decided in 1907 to start painting. After a number of years in Amsterdam, the painter settled in Groet in North Holland in 1913, where he, like the other painters of the Bergen School, including his brother Matthieu, was influenced by the ideas and work of Henri le Fauconnier. His palette in this period is dominated by browning, the forms are simple and modest. In 1921 the painter moved to Thorn in Limburg for a number of years, where a very productive period began. Wiegman's small, modest oeuvre shows him as a versatile artist who, in addition to being a painter, was also a draftsman, graphic artist, sculptor and ceramist. His painting style hardly changed over the years, which makes his paintings difficult to date.
