Toon Kelder was inspired by the Parisian avant-garde artists and he developed a highly personal style in the early years of the twentieth century.
Later on the dark expressionist paintings of Toon Kelder turned in light luminist work. His subjects ranged from landscapes and interiors to nudes and still lifes. After World War II he broke with figurative art and he rejected the use of oil paint. From then on he only worked with gouache and watercolor paint and his abstract compositions he built up with black, white and gray tones.
At the same time he started working as a sculptor. One of his abstract sculptures is in the collection of the MoMA (New York)
Toon Kelder exhibited in several major museums in Holland and abroad.
His work is represented in the Rijksmuseum, the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, the Gemeente Museum in the Hague, Groninger Museum, the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh and the MoMA in New York.
(Literature: Toon Kelder, Romantisch Modernist, by Jaap Versteegh. Publisher Waanders & de Kunst) - Sobre el artistaToon Kelder es uno de los pintores inspirados en las vanguardias parisinas para desarrollar un estilo muy personal en los primeros años del siglo XX. Al mismo tiempo, su trabajo fue moldeado por un impulso constante por innovar. En la década de 1920 pintó flores, figuras y desnudos, en su mayoría usando a su esposa Alexandrine como modelo, todos representados en colores expresivos. Durante la década de 1930 hasta alrededor de 1945, desarrolló formas femeninas sutilmente estilizadas representadas en tonos suaves y brumosos, pero también jinetes a caballo y figuras míticas en paisajes boscosos. A partir de 1945 abandonó la pintura figurativa y se dedicó a la creación de esculturas abstractas. Pasó algún tiempo en Antibes, donde hizo bonitos dibujos a tinta. Se le considera miembro de la escuela de Nieuwe Haagse.
