    Provenance: Private collection, The Netherlands

    Broer Dobbelsteen, born Johannes Anthonius (Johan) van den Dobbelsteen (Mierlo, 1936 – 2019), studied at the Academy of Industrial Design in Eindhoven. In the first years after his studies, he worked as a designer, but from 1964 onwards he was active as a full-time artist.

    His work is characterized by primary colors and large planes, rough forms, and a playful approach to the subject. He was part of the expressionist movement, which largely shaped the character of the first half of the twentieth century. Experimentation, spontaneity, and freedom were central principles. The use of bright colors and simple forms is typical of Dobbelsteen’s work.

    He was partly inspired by the Cobra movement. His paintings are widely represented in institutions, art dealers, galleries, and private collections.
  • About the artist

    Broer van den Dobbelsteen (1936–2019), better known as Broer Dobbelsteen, was a Dutch artist from Geldrop who distinguished himself through a lively, expressive visual language. His work is characterized by powerful colors, spontaneous brushwork, and a direct, intuitive approach to form and composition.

    Dobbelsteen worked from a strong personal drive and developed a recognizable style that balances between figuration and abstraction. His paintings and drawings often depict human figures, landscapes, and everyday scenes, but distorted and simplified to their essence. The focus was not on realistic representation, but on the emotional charge and energy of the moment.

    Throughout his career, he remained true to this free, unpolished way of working. His oeuvre radiates a sense of spontaneity and zest for life, in which color and movement play a central role. As an artist, Dobbelsteen managed to carve out his own place within Dutch post-war art, with work that is both accessible and personal.
