'Direction does not exist' and 'everything is repetition' replied Toon Koster when asked to which movement he belonged and which subjects he preferred to paint. Educated at the academy in Rotterdam, Koster developed into a versatile artist: he painted, was a graphic artist, craftsman and enameller, and he also made important murals. In an impressionistic way he painted landscapes, village and city views, portraits and still lifes. The scenes are often painted in dark earth colours and with broad, coarse brushstrokes, creating a charged atmosphere. Koster was a member of the Nederlandse Federatie van Beeldende Kunstenaars
