"Cubism made me seek the truth rather in the back of things than in their face."
Nicolas Eekman
Eekman paints many portraits, produces large watercolors and especially important woodcuts that rank first among the best in this area.The humble life (peasants, fishermen, workers, vagrants) is the main source of his inspiration. He focuses on the psychological expression of subjects, but also on the compositionand architecture of the paintings.
