Joris Johannes Christiaan Lebeau 'Chris Lebeau': An
influential early twentieth century Dutch artist, Chris Lebeau gained fame
for his paintings, prints, sculpture, work in the book arts, textile designs,
glass work, designs of theater interiors, and batik art. He was also a
leading communist and anti-militarist. Tragically, this made him a victim
when the Germans invaded Holland during the Second World War and he was
imprisoned and died at the concentration camp of Dachau. |

Joris Johannes Christiaan (Chris) Lebeau studied art techniques
at the Quellinusschool, Amsterdam (1892-1895) the Kunstniiverheidsschool,
Amsterdam (1895-1899) the Rijksacademie, Amsterdam, under Professor A.
Allebe (1901-1903), and at the Academy of Antwerp (1905-1908). Influenced
by the art and ideas of William Morris, Lebeau's early art exhibited
distinct art nouveau elements. Some of his most famous art is his design
work for the Astatheater in the Haag (1920), the Amsterdam Statehouse (1927)
and the 'Oud-Katholieke Kerk', in Leiden (1928). As well, between
1923 and 1926 Chris Lebeau worked with the leading Dutch glassworks, NV
Glasfabriek Leerdam. |

A beautiful study of line and form, "Landscape in Maremma"
probably dates from the 1920's. (Maremma is an area in southern Tuscany,
south-west of Florence.) Today the fine art of Chris Lebeau is included
in such major collections as the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, the British Museum
and the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. In 1985 the Drents Museum in
Assen created the Lebeau Collection and Archive. |
