About the artist: Frits Rudolf Alexander Van Eeden was born in March 1944 in Tilburg, evolved into an internationally recognized artist.

All renowned artist members of the "Pulchri Studio", home of the famous "Hague School".

He was the first member to be admitted in more than one discipline, which shows in the "3-D" quality of his paintings. After participating in shows at the "Pulchri Studio", he participated in group and one-man show throughout Europe and Asia. The Ministry of Culture, Recreation, and Social Works (CRM) provided Van Eeden with a Stipendium to study the work of Henry Moore, the dream of most young sculptors.
