{"title":"Toorop, Charley","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnnie Caroline Pontifex Fernhout-Toorop (1891-1955), known as Charley Toorop\u003c\/strong\u003e, was a Dutch painter and lithographer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCharley Toorop was born in Katwijk. She was the daughter of Jan Toorop and Annie Hall. She married the philosopher Henk Fernhout in May 1912, but they divorced in 1917. Her son Edgar Fernhout (1912-1974) also became a painter. Her other son, John Fernhout (1913-1987), became a film-maker and often worked together with Joris Ivens. As a film-maker, he sometimes used the name John Ferno. Charley's daughter in law was the well-known Jewish photographer Eva Besnyö (1910-2003), who married John in 1933.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the online biography of the Dutch poet Hendrik Marsman from the Dutch Literary Museum, Charley Toorop is mentioned as one of the women who had a relationship with Marsman before he married in 1929 his wife Rien Barendregt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCharley Toorop became a member of the group of artists called Het Signaal (The Signal) in 1916. The group aimed to depict a deep sense of reality through the use of colours and heavily accentuated lines and through fierce contrasts of colours. This is one of the reasons why Toorop is seen as adherent to the Bergense School.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToorop befriended other artists, among them Bart van der Leck and Piet Mondriaan. In 1926 Charley Toorop went to live for two years in Amsterdam, where her painting became influenced by film. She frontally depicted figures standing isolated from each other, as if they were lit by lamps at a movie set. Her still lifes show kinship to the synthetic cubism of Juan Gris. From the 1930s onwards, she painted many female figures, as well as nudes and self-portraits in a powerful, realistic style. Well-known is her large painting Three Generations (Drie generaties) (1941-1950; in the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, Rotterdam), which is a self-portrait, a portrait of her father and of her son Edgar, in which she unites both realism and a sense of symbolism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToorop had lived at many different places, but from 1932 on she resided in Bergen, North Holland, a town she'd previously had her home between 1912-1915 and 1922–1926. There she designed and commissioned a house called \"De Vlerken\", situated at the Buerweg 19. The house is still there, although after a fire its thatched roof has been replaced by a tiled roof. Charley Toorop died in Bergen on 5th November 1955. Her works are in many public collections, notably in the Kröller-Müller Museum in Otterlo.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"toorop-charley-1891-1955-self-portrait-with-winter-branches-1944-5","title":"Toorop, Charley (1891-1955) - Self-portrait with Winter Branches 1944-5","description":"\u003cp\u003eArtwork by the Dutch woman artist Charley Toorop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis download consists of 1 image, in JPEG format, that is 600dpi and 4670 pixels wide by 6000 pixels tall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe picture is out of copyright and in the public domain, so you are free to use it in whatever way you'd like, including commercial use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRead more about \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/publicdomainimagelibrary.com\/collections\/toorop-charley\" title=\"Charley Toorop\"\u003eCharley Toorop\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Digital Download - 1 image","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53622664102218,"sku":null,"price":0.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/7965\/7290\/files\/Toorop_Charley_1891-1955_-Self-portraitwithWinterBranches1944-5_main.jpg?v=1767259089"},{"product_id":"new-for-2026-bundle","title":"New for 2026 - 476 Image Value Bundle","description":"\u003cp\u003eHere we have bundled together works from artists who enter the public domain on 1st January 2026.
