- Born in Amsterdam in 1931 (died in 1987), Hans van Draanen experienced the war period there as a teenager, which probably influenced his entire life. Many artists lived and worked in and around the canal house on the Brouwersgracht. During that period, the painter and poet Lucebert often visited his parents and poems were regularly recited when they were not working in the studio. During that time, Hans was studying at the Institute for Applied Arts in Amsterdam, the later Rietveld Academy.
In the biography (ISBN 9789082437102) about Hans van Draanen it becomes clear that the ambivalence that emerges from the above saying gives a good picture of his character. This ambivalence is also evident from the stories of his family and friends who together give an image of a charming, playful, captivating, generous and eager man with a roaring laugh and a heart of gold, but also of a selfish man with a sometimes jealous and dark side. But everyone completely agrees on one thing: Hans was a unique artist with a great interest in and knowledge of ancient culture, modern art, literature and music. And although he may have become best known as an etcher, his paintings are also very intriguing. In the chronological overview at the back of the book it is easy to see how many styles he mastered and with how much pleasure he put his playful, fantastic, surrealistic and sometimes sweet figures on canvas.
