Kees Maks
Cornelis Johannes Maks, known as Kees Maks, was a Dutch painter.
Kees Maks was known for his paintings of fashionable nightlife. Circus acts, dancing couples and garden parties were unknown subjects in Dutch art. The lifelike subjects and the light-hearted way of painting in simplistic masses of bright, vivid colours made a lasting impression on the public.
