Over de kunstenaar

Cornelis (Kees) Timmer was a Dutch artist who worked as sculptor, painter and jeweller. He attended evening art classes at the Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam. In 1928, he was awarded the Silver Academy Medal. In the 1920s, artists in the Netherlands were struggling. Timmer focussed on payable art, often with the circus and monkeys as subjects. Later, he made murals for schools and factories and also constructed concrete and metal sculptures, still to be found throughout the Netherlands. He was a teacher at the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague, in 1962-63, and in 1966 was awarded the Hendrik Chabot Prize.
