(2) Charley [Annie Caroline Pontifex] Toorop
(b Katwijk, 24 March 1891; d Bergen, 6 Nov 1955). Daughter of (1) Jan Toorop. She was self-taught as an artist and began to paint in 1909. Her early works are luministic. While she was living in Bergen (1912–15) she painted in a Cubist and Expressionist style. She painted landscapes (of the province of Zeeland and Bergen), figures (her children, friends and portrait commissions) and self-portraits. Also during this period she exhibited at the Moderne Kunstkring and at De Onafhankelijken (‘The Independents’) in Amsterdam. Between 1915 and 1919 she lived in Laren, Utrecht and Amsterdam. From 1919 to 1921 she frequently stayed in Paris, where she associated with Piet Mondrian.
