Painter-writer Jan Cremer was born in Enschede in 1940. As a visual artist, he specialized in graphic techniques from the start of his education at the various art academies he attended. In 1957 he painted the first of a series of canvases that would become known as Peinture Barbarisme. In 1958 he has his first one-man exhibition in Galerie de Posthoorn in The Hague and joins the Posthoorngroep. A year later he exhibited in the Haags Gemeentemuseum and in 1960 in the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam. Dozens of exhibitions at home and abroad follow. In 1959 he left for Paris with a grant from the French government, where he ended up in the Rue Santeuil, the famous hide warehouse with the studios of Bogart, Appel and Corneille, among others. From 1961 to 1963 Jan Cremer lives and works on the Spanish island of Ibiza, where he is part of Grupo Ibiza with, among others, KF Dahmen and Erwin Bechtold.
