(1886-1963)
(1886-1963)
Dutch painter and graphic artist.

(Some of his) flower & stillife paintings
My first acqaintance with artist Jan Wittenberg was this painting of red flowers in a blue vase which is still my favourite.
I cannot resist after showing Manet's last flowers and the works of two of his contemporary American disciples Stanley Bielen and Nancy Tips. These 3 posting receiving many visistors to this day. So I guess there is an audience for the flowers and still lifes of Jan Wittenberg too.
It's what I brought together from various galleries and auction houses over time. In no way complete. But Wittenbergs works are very seldomly seen or shown (together).

Several pictures I borrowed at http://www.simonis-buunk.nl/ , they have a truly great archive on many Dutch artists.
The paintings are stunning, they almost seem wet. Luminous and lush. Very appealing.
