Life

Adriana (Adya) Dutilh was the daughter of the upper-class merchant François Dutilh (1849-1924) and Catharina Adriana Jonkheijm (1851-1928). In 1909 she married the Dutch painter Otto van Rees (1884–1957), son of the Dutch anarchist Jacob van Rees , with whom she had been associated since 1902. The couple had three children.

Adriana Dutilh received drawing lessons from Barbara Elisabeth van Houten in The Hague from 1886 to 1890 and then from Ernest Blanc-Garin in Brussels until 1900 . In Brussels she frequented anti-bourgeois and anti-capitalist circles. In 1902 she stayed in Italy and then moved to the Vereniging Internationale Broederschap (VIB) in Blaricum . Since then she lived with Otto van Rees, worked with him in the summer of 1904 at Jan Toorop in Domburg and then moved to his studio on Montmartre in Paris.

In 1906 the daughter Aditya was born in Italy. The artist couple now lived in Paris and in winter in Fleury. From 1912 they stayed in Ascona and on Monte Verità . Adriana's tapestries and paintings were part of exhibitions in Rotterdam (1910), Amsterdam (1912) and at exhibitions in the USA. At the First German Autumn Salon in Berlin in 1913, Herwarth Walden showed three tapestries by her, two “compositions after Otto Freundlich ”, one of which was shown in the exhibition catalog. The magazine Die Aktion had one of her paintings on the front page in 1914. During the First World War , she stayed in France and Switzerland. In Zurich , both exhibited with Hans Arp in the Tanner Gallery. Both were signatories of the Berlin Dadaist Manifesto in 1918 .

In November 1919, the family was hit by a train accident in Sens, France, in which the eldest daughter died. They were now living in North Brabant, and Adriana sought consolation and support in the Catholic religion. In 1923 they rented a room in Klein Kasteel in Deurne . They had contact with local artists and created illustrations for the Catholic magazine De Gemeenschap . In 1927 they moved near Antwerp and, with money from Jacob van Rees, set up a place to stay near Ascona in Switzerland. In 1929/30 they were part of the short-lived Parisian group Cercle et Carré .

By the late 1930s, their financial problems remained great and they went their separate ways in their marriage. During the Second World War she lived in poor conditions in Switzerland. After the war she moved to Utrecht and lived again with her husband, who died in 1957. She went blind herself, could no longer work and found shelter with friends. She died two years after her husband.
