Rinus van den Bosch

Rinus van den Bosch (January 10, 1938 - 14 April 1996) was a Dutch artist[1] in the Netherlands.[2] and was appointed as teacher[3] at the Willem de Kooning Academy in 1982. In 2009 Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen had a retrospective exhibition of his work.[4][5] Rinus van den Bosch is what you call an eccentric. The artist shows the world and the people in it through line drawings, ranging from the figurative to the abstract, most with poetic titles. In these drawings, created with a sure touch and economy of line, he captured topical events and the atmosphere of The Hague as it was in the 1970s. Simplicity, colour and humour are characteristics of his paintings. Willem Otterspeer wrote in 2009 a biographic essay[6] called 'Flarden van een stem'. Same time Diederiekje Bok made the book Rinus[7] with contributions by Kees van Kooten, Tommy Wieringa, Willem Otterspeer, A.L. Snijders. Peter Struycken, Dick Matena and Wim Beeren called 'Rinus'. Rinus van den Bosch was in a relationship with Dutch portrait painter Marike Bok.
