Dutch painter and watercolourist

Artist alert: new acquisitions

About the artist - Wim Bosma

Willem (Wim) Bosma was a Dutch painter, watercolourist, graphic designer, monumental artist and muralist. He was self-taught but did receive lessons from Piet van Wijngaerdt.
Bosma had a studio at Stadhouderskade 100 in Amsterdam.

He painted and watercoloured and also made murals. His paintings often have ships and harbours as subjects, but also "new technology" such as aircraft or industry. He also made many paintings of African women. He was a great lover of jazz music. His best-known works are the stations and harbours from the 1930s, painted in a new objective, realistic style. Wim Bosma was a communist and therefore did not become a member of the Kultuurkamer.

Work by Wim Bosma has been purchased by the Centraal Museum in Utrecht, the Gemeentemuseum Den Haag, the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam and private collectors.
