Lugthart, Gerrit (1896-1958)
At a very young age he was deeply inspired by the symbolist works of Albert August Plasschaert (1866-1941) and his religious and spiritual approach to art. The art critics of the time mention (mockingly) a 'School of Plasschaert'. Lugthart was not simply a follower but emulated Plasschaert's style very closely. This uncanny similar style is mentioned in the article by E. van Ittersum-Schuurman in De Derde Weg year 1, no.1 (p.17), the periodical founded by i.a. Plasschaert and W. de Lorm. According to the Alkmaar archives he was a clerk in 1921, one of the drawings (dated 1934) is on a business card of Lugthart, advertising him as decorative painter, illustrator and framer in Rijswijk.
Lugthart was probably part of a group of young artists mentored by Plasschaert at his address in Dordrecht ("Bureau voor Rythmische Kunst Rozenhof 30- Dordrecht") around 1915-1918. Cf. in extenso G. IMANSE, Albert August Plasschaert (1988), p.53-59. "(...)Het werk van de zoogenaamde jonge Dordtenaren (er zijn ook Rotterdammers en anderen bij) is alles in dit huis en eigendom van Karel Wasch, die bij mij inwoont. Het 'Rythmische Kunstwerk' van de jongeren is onder mijn leiding ontstaan en met mijn persoon beveilig ik hun vrijheid van onpersoonlijk zijn. Zij werken alleen onder pseudoniem en niemand anders dan Wasch en ik kennen hun Burgerl. Standsnamen" (p.53, quoting Plasschaert in a letter to his cousin).
Lugthart" refers to the name Anjana Bertos, according to Plasschaert a reincarnation of Christ in the form of a painter-poet. Plasschaert sometimes used this name as a pseudonym, but "Deze Anjana Bertos moet dus eigenlijk gezien worden als een hoger wezen, dat werkzaam kon zijn in anderen, maar ook in Plasschaert (...)" (Imanse, p.56).
