Jaap Wagemaker

Jaap Wagemaker was one of the first Dutch artists to work in the style of materialism and established himself as a prominent representative of the international informal art movement of the 1950s and 60s. His technical categorisation of "painting of matter" has its origins in the artistic currents of Paris after 1945.

Born in Haarlem in 1906, Wagemaker showed artistic ability from a young age, studying architecture and decorative arts. He was a skilful draftsman, but his passion was painting, which led him to create more than 200 works. Wagemaker is known for his unique approach to using different materials, such as sand and wood, in his paintings.

Collectors, auctioneers and art experts appreciate Wagemaker's work for its innovative methods and contribution to the development of material painting. His work is represented in many galleries and auctions where it can be seen and purchased.
