Betondorp (1933)

Beschrijving

Signed and dated 'L.SCHRIKKEL. -'33-' (lower right); framed. Restoration centre left corresponding to a c. 10 x 10 cm. patch on the reverse, some tiny bulges, else in good conditio. Frame size 64.5 x 54.7 cm.

Notes: Betondorp is a residential neighbourhood in Amsterdam built in the 1920s. Most of the houses were built from concrete to save material and labour costs, which was an architectural experiment. Louis Schrikkel often painted the neighbourhood after moving there in the early 1930s. Betondorp, literally Concrete Village, is best known for its two greatest sons, Johan Cruyff and Gerard Reve. The latter placed his short story Werther Nieland in the new residential area, while his alter ego Elmer was eleven years old. Exactly the age that Reve was in 1934 when Schrikkel, without knowing it, captured the decor of one of the most famous masterpieces in Dutch literature.
