Says Kanters: 'People ought to be able to get more out of it than I put into it, otherwise I have been doing something wrong. It is not just about the meaning, it is the emotion, humour and irony, tenderness and frustration, even rage that I am trying to convey.' 'There is no way to describe Kanters' work in a couple of sentences. What you can say is that the bizarre, fascinating paintings with their dozens of details depict life in all its facets of emotion, behaviour and social customs.

Hardcover. Etat : Near Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. 1st Edition. Text in English and Dutch. 96 pp. Moderate rubbing to dust jacket; slight edge wear. The painter Hans Kanters, born and bred in Amsterdam, began his career in 1967, a point in time that heralded vast innovations in Amsterdam. Throughout the years, as an autodidact Kanters has always gone his own way, ignoring trends or modes, remaining very much his own man. This book is a compilation of his paintings and lithographs from 1956 to 1992. After his erotic period in the serenties, now surrealism can be seen to manifest itself with greater clarity in his work, and his palette has become more direct, his colours more rarefied. In his text, Frans Duister elaborates upon Kanters' work in a manner that is articulate and discerning and gives us a hint of what this fascinating painter is all about. 61 colour illustrations, 16 black and white illustrations. …
