Jan Simon Knikker Junior (Dutch, 1911 - 1990)
Jan Simon Knikker, known as Jan, was born in 1911 in Leiden. He lived and worked in Wassenaar, London and the Hague. Signed with Jan Ball Jr. son of Jan Simon Ball SR. He was a student of the Academy of fine arts in the Hague (1928-1932) and he painted in figurative style landscapes and cityscapes. He is seen as a follower of the Hague School and he often worked for the art trade. His cityscapes are particularly sought-after in foreign countries.
Jan Knikker junior is member of a well known artists’ family. A generation earlier, Aris and Jan senior were very productive and even more popular. Fearing too many paintings by the brothers, the traders Welther convinced them to sign some of them with pseudonyms. Today however, most of the paintings being already in private or public possession, they are very sought after.
Jan Knikker Jr painted in the same style as his father and uncle. His favourite subjects are Dutch cities and the landscape of Holland with canals, lakes and rivers. Just as his predecessors, Jan became very well known all over the world. Especially his cityscapes are nowadays very popular abroad. He also painted some flower pieces.
