Koster Oil Painting - - A small original oil painting on board, depicting a seascape with a luminated boat, on an evidently stormy sea. By acclaimed Dutch artist Antonius ‘Toon’ Koster (1913 - 1989) He attended The Art Academy in Rotterdam & soon became a painter, printmaker, industrial artist, enamelist & muralist. Koster was renowned for his use of dark often gloomy colours in his paintings, with coarse brush strokes creating a charged atmosphere. Oftentimes with a single highlighted portion just like the one on offer here. He was once asked ”Which movement do you belong to?” To which he replied ”There is no movement, & everything repeats itself” allowing his deeply hidden mischievous side to poke out, albeit temporarily. Signed to the lower left corner by the artist. In a simple wooden frame, with multiple facets to the borders, from shabby chic gold, to a beige fabric border and finally a fine gold border to surround the art. Condition : Used, minimal wear to frame, art in overall very good condition. Dim : 33.5cm x 33.5cm.
