Ans Schumacher, 1941 | Portrait painter

Ans Schumacher was born in Leyden, Netherlands. Lives and works in Oegstgeest - Netherlands.

Ans Schumacher paints enlarged portraits (blow-ups) in oil on canvas. There are no irrelevant backgrounds.

The faces are a reflection of our time trough their "glossy"and sophisticated outlook.

Altough the style is realistic with a link to pop-art, it's also abstract because of the glossyness and anonymity of the portrayed.

Ans Schumacher exhibited in the Netherlands as well as Germany, France, Belgium, Sweden and Spain.
