          DICK KET (1902 - 1940) “View of a Dutch city”, 1928. Ink drawing on paper. Presents informative annotation on the back. Signed and dated in the lower right corner. Provenance: Majorca private collection.

          Est: €700 - €800

          DICK KET (1902 - 1940). "Dutch City View", 1928. Ink drawing on paper. Informative annotation on the back. Signed and dated in the lower right-hand corner. Provenance: Private collection Mallorca. Size: 27.5 x 23 cm; 39.5 x 45 cm (frame). Although Ket's first paintings are impressionist in style, he was decisively influenced by the art of Neue Sachlichkeit in 1929 and, from then on, he painted in a magical realist style. His meticulously composed and rendered still lifes feature favourite objects such as bottles, an empty bowl, eggs and musical instruments. Ket juxtaposed these objects in angular arrangements, seen from a high viewpoint, their cast shadows creating emphatic diagonals. These compositions reveal the influence of Cubism filtered through Cassandre's posters, which are frequently depicted in Ket's paintings. Another source of inspiration came from early Dutch painting, which Ket admired for its atmosphere of austere reverence that he called its "intrusive" quality. Ket completed approximately 140 paintings, including forty self-portraits. As a result of his technical experimentation with different formulations and additives to the glaze medium, some of his paintings are not completely dry after six decades. In his self-portraits the progressive symptoms of his physical deterioration are evident. Museums housing works by Dick Ket include the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, the Arnhem Museum and the Boijmans Van Beuningen Museum in Rotterdam.

EXHIBITION Arnhem, Gemeentemuseum Arnhem, Dick Ket 1902-1940, 16 December 1962 - 17 February 1963, no. 21. NOTES The self-portrait is an important and recurrent genre in Dick Ket's oeuvre. Shortly after an exhibition held at Kunstzaal Van Lier in Amsterdam in January 1934, he embarked on a series of three small self-portraits with attributes, of which the present lot is one. He worked on them until 1937, but then decided to execute an almost identical series on coarser canvas, and left the original versions unfinished. The posters by Cassandre in the background of the first versions no longer appear in the second series. We know from Ket's correspondence that the idea for the three self-portraits took shape gradually. The self-portrait with a bread roll followed those with a paintbrush and with medicines, which he had conceived some time earlier. The self-portrait with a bread roll, which Ket also referred to as 'the eater', shows him with his head turned to the right and therefore belongs on the left of the triptych. Ket must initially have played with the idea of hanging it on the right, as he also made a version with his head inclined to the left (Alied Ottevanger, op. cit. cat. no. 116). Ket never completed the first versions, but hung them separately in his living room. They were never exhibited during his lifetime. The three later self-portraits (now at the Gemeentemuseum in Arnhem, cat. no. 132) were placed in a single frame. Though they are perhaps technically more proficient than the first series, Ket remained attached to their predecessors, which he felt had more 'warmth'. The second versions were never quite finished either, and remained unsigned. After the death of their son, Ket's parents presented the three paintings from the first series to friends and acquaintances. The self-portrait with a bread roll thus came into the possession of the Van Booren-Ten Kate family.
