Life
Growing up in Amsterdam, he painted things from his environment as a very young person. At the age of 20 he moved to Düsseldorf, where he married and lived until 1923. He met Hubertine Kamp in the early 1920s, got a new marriage with her and lived in Angermund on Graf-Engelbert-Straße. In 1922 his only child was born, a son named Joost.
From 1919 until his death he was a member of the artists' association Malkasten . In oil, watercolor and pastel he painted landscapes, especially harbor scenes, as well as still lifes and portraits.
At least since a visit to the Heinrich colliery in Essen in 1914, he worked as an industrial painter . Before the Second World War, he created a monumental mural with a scene from the underground mine for the entrance area of Essen Central Station . He also created depictions of rolling mills, machine tools, motor ships and industrial port facilities. Numerous pictures that were stored in a tunnel in Velbert during World War II were destroyed there shortly after the war.
