Anyone who is familiar
with Jaap van den Ende's ( Delft, 1944) earlier formal, often
abstract geometric work can see a radical U-turn in his current work
based on flowers, landscapes and human figures. Jaap van den Ende
started work on these emotionally charged paintings in which the
figuration plays an important part in the late Eighties. All the same,
his present-day procedure is still in line with the so-called ‘cool’
work of the Sixties and Seventies. Oppositions like reason and emotion,
or that between system and intuition in his style of work, had already
been present for a long time. It is just that he has developed different
formal idioms for these premises during the last few years.
Van den Ende studied at the Koninklijke Academie voor Beeldende Kunst in
The Hague. Van den Ende's rich oeuvre is to be found in various
collections, including Van Abbenmuseum, Eindhoven, Städtisches Museum
Abteiberg, Mönchengladbach, Museum Bochum, Bochum, Museum Boijmans Van
Beuningen, Rotterdam, Gemeentemuseum Den Haag, Museum De Lakenhal,
Leiden, Van Reekum Museum, Apeldoorn, Rijksdienst Verspreide
Kunstvoorwerpen, Den Haag, Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, Stedelijk Museum
Het Prinsenhof, Delft, Stedelijk Museum Schiedam. |
