Eva van Dam / Poppe Damave ( 1921 - 1988 ) / Gerard Delancre

Eva van Dam

Most of the time watercolours tend to be not that big

but this one is our biggest and certainly one of the more

beloved ones! Eva van Dam is situated in Amsterdam

at the moment and it is really advisable to visit

her website as there are a lot of oilpaintings as well

to admire. Work on paper. Dimensions: 70 / 100 cm.

It is really worth an examination to study this

detail of this watercolour though the wideness in the

background has its role as well.

We recently removed this watercolor out of

its' frame as that was in a bad condition and we 

were able to take pictures without glass. 

And another detail. Eva van Dam was still living

in  Arnhem when this watercolor was produced.

That was in the year 1977 of which the signature

attests. It has been placed in the lower left corner.

At the moment she has her workplace in Amsterdam.

Poppe Damave

Poppe Damave is a Dutch artist who used different techniques

and watercolor among others. He was a member of an Art group

the called  "Haarlemse Vijftigers". He often worked in an

impressionistic style. This work has been called "The Salesman".

Work on paper. Dimensions 28 / 42 cm.

He did an expositions in the Frans Hals museum in 1947.

But the Rijksmuseum, The Singer museum also have works

of Damave in their collection. The name "Poppe" in

fact is an unusual one even in the Netherlands so when

reading the first name one can be sure the second halve 

of his name will be "Damave".

Gerard Delancre

His works are not always of equal quality but this work had 

a strange kind of attraction to us, probably the choice of the

colours used. Work on paper. Dimensions: 38 / 52 cm.

For comparisons: His signature.
