Information about the artist:
Robert ('Rob') Bernard Henri Aussen , (Amsterdam, March 22, 1938 – Amsterdam, January 22, 2024), painter, watercolorist, etcher, draftsman, art collector and art dealer.
-Education: Royal Academy of Art, The Hague (1959–1963).
The murder of his parents († Sobibor, July 2, 1943) largely determined his view of the world, the government, power and people. Life could be hard, but he tried to make it a party: “Life was a party, but the dead were always there.”
Rob Aussen mainly spent the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s traveling. He traveled to Spain, Italy, India, the Indonesian islands and many countries in Africa. He bought a lot of ethnographic art there. He loved the materials, the texture, the design language and especially the history of each object.
Since 1979 he has lived and worked in the Jordaan in Amsterdam.
Rob Aussen worked mainly in ink, watercolor and oil paint in an expressionistic realism (figurative). He exhibited his landscapes, nudes, groups and portraits in Amsterdam, New York and several European cities. For a while he worked with the artist collective 'Confetti'.
