Né en 1920 à Amsterdam, l'artiste avait lui-même transformé son nom, Constant Anton Nieuwenhuijs, en Constant Nieuwenhuys. Il est mort à Utrecht le 1er août 2005, à l'âge de 85 ans, et sera inhumé le 6 août au cimetière Zorgvlied à Amstelveen (commune néerlandaise qui fait partie de l'agglomération d'Amsterdam) où il repose. En son hommage, cette fleur du campanule.
"Le réalisme, c'est la négation de la réalité." - Constant (programme CoBrA)
"Qui nie le bonheur sur terre nie l'art." - Constant (programme CoBrA)
"Pas de bon tableau sans gros plaisir." - Constant (programme CoBrA)
"L'imagination est le moyen pour connaître la réalité." - Constant (programme CoBrA)
"Constant est un Monsieur, qui a adoré les chapeaux et les boîtes de cigares. Un homme qui a passionnément aimé jouer de la guitare et qui l'a fait superbement." - Jan Elburg
"L'imagination créative. Dans l'art, la liberté se manifeste elle-même dans sa forme la plus élevée. L'art crée une image du monde qui n'a pas existé auparavant. Non. Plus que cela. Une image qui était impensable auparavant." - Constant (Epitaphe sur sa tombe)
Beyond works currently in stock, it seemed to me useful to combine business with pleasure by letting you discover others works by artists in my gallery. These artworks, now sold or removed from our website, have been in our stock in the past.
These pages will undoubtedly make it possible for some of you to associate an image with its title or the other way round, for others it will be a good time to discover more on such and such artist. For the sake of confidentiality – the pieces being no longer available – we won't display neither their numbering or their price. For whatever reason, make sure to visit this amazing art database with to date 6441 online works just for your pleasure! Michelle Champetier
The art and the artists display: proclamations, galleries, museums, personal or collective exhibitions. On walls or in shop windows, wise or rebels, posters warn, argue, show. Some were specially conceived by an artist for such or such event, other, colder, have only the letter.
Some were created in lithographic technic, most are simple offset reproductions. They are many those who like collecting these rectangles of paper, monochrome or in games of colours, in matt paper or brilliant, with many words or almost dumb.
We are happy also to be able to greet, by this pages, mythical galleries as those of Denise René, Louis Carré, Claude Bernard, Berheim Jeune, Maeght, Pierre Loeb and others.
