I remember this painting. My parents are into antroposphy / theosophy, and we had many old folklore and fairy tail books. I had a poster of him in my bedroom from 'Among Gnomes and Trolls'
Tragically died at 36, 3 years after painting this.
Any other artists like this you'd recommend looking into? Or art books? I really like this
Not really the same but I knew the artist personally in my childhood and it is in the style of the antroposphical movement, which I do not approve of, it is like a cult. We used to go to her farm often and I played on the piano and watch her paint. Her husband was a concert pianist if I recall correct...long time ago.
Adrie Hospes, she made the cover for the Dutch version of Krabat "Meester van de zwarte molen" bij Otfried preußler.
Theodor Kittelsen.
Wait, you knew the artist personally? Op said the painting is from 1917
I am timeeless for I am your God.
Adrie Hospes I knew, excuse me for the confusion.
Wait, didn't everyone have tons of old folklore and fairytale books as a kid?
Neat, I like it. Early influence on Froud?
