Kruyder, Herman (Justus)
(b Lage Vuursche, 7 June 1881; d Amsterdam, 29 April 1935). Dutch painter and draughtsman. He received drawing lessons from C. E. van Dapperen (1863–1945). From 1899 until 1904 he worked at J. L. Schouten’s (1852–1937) stained-glass firm in Delft. He moved to Haarlem and slowly progressed towards becoming an independent artist. Having worked in an Impressionistic style, after 1913 he began to experiment and produced many watercolours: still-lifes, flowers and a single landscape. The experience of World War I provided him with material for stirring documentary images. He incorporated Cubism and Expressionism into his work during this period. In 1916 he married and settled in Heemstede, his first one-man exhibition taking place in 1918 at J. H. Dubois in Haarlem.
