Hulshorst volgens Huszár

The Hungarian artist Vilmos Husz? R (Budapest, 1884 - Harderwijk, 1960) left for The Hague at the beginning of the twentieth century. He came at the invitation of the painter Anna Egter van Wissekerke. After a short stay in Hungary and other European countries, Husz? R settled permanently in the Netherlands in 1909. Around 1915 he came into contact with artists such as Piet Mondrian, Theo van Doesburg and Bart van der Leck, with whom he would found the magazine and the art movement De Stijl two years later. At the beginning of the century, Husz? R painted landscapes in Gelderland. He visited Hulshorst in 1924 and a year later bought a piece of land near Hierden. Here he built a summer house with a studio. Due to the increasing threat of war, the Jewish Husz? R moved permanently with his family to Hierden in 1940 and offered help to the resistance there. Until his death he worked in Hierden, where he made more naturalistic representations of the environment, but also regularly returned to the abstracted imagination of De Stijl. This work can be seen until September 23, 2018 in Gelderland Grensland, an exhibition in CODA Museum Apeldoorn that brings together landscape painting from the seventeenth to the twentieth century. An excellent opportunity to travel through the province of Gelderland on the basis of masterpieces from four centuries of art history! www.coda-apeldoorn.nl/gg Image: Vilmos Husz? r, Sand drift near Hulshorst in the Veluwe, 1950s, oil on canvas on panel, Simonis & Buunk, Ede
