Ernst van Leyden was born in 1892 in Rotterdam. He lived and worked in Rotterdam, Amsterdam, Urk and Loosdrecht, and from 1928 onwards in Paris, London, New York, Los Angeles, Venice and Montfort L’Amaury in France. Van Leyden studied at the Academie voor Beeldende Kunst in Rotterdam, at the St. Martinus School of Art London and the Kunstgewerbeschule in Berlin. He initially painted expressionist figurative works in the style of his friend Jan Sluijters, but gradually developed his abstract work in the mid-fifties. Van Leyden enjoyed many international contacts including Picasso, Dalí, Eames, De Kooning, Chaplin and other renowned personalities. His works are diffuse and colourful and can be found in museums in Rotterdam, Paris, Cairo, New York, Brussels, Eindhoven, Amsterdam, Washington D.C. and Buffalo N.Y., among other places. He died in 1969.

Ernst van Leyden

Born in: 1892 - Rotterdam (the Netherlands) Died in: 1969 - Versailles (France)

Ernst van Leyden was an extremely productive and versatile artist, hugely inspired by his numerous travels: his use of warm colours, striking compositions, and strong rendition – whether figurative or abstract – of people, animals, objects and landscapes made him a thoroughly appreciated artist within a circle of peers and friends to which Picasso, Salvador Dali and Willem

de Kooning belonged as well

1892-1919 Oscar Moritz Ernst Leyden was born on 16 May 1892 in Rotterdam. In 1916 Ernst established his first studio in Amsterdam and exhibited with the St Lucas group and at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam. He joined Dr Schoenmakers group in Laren where he met Mondrian, Rietvelt, van Doesberg and Van der Lek. Whilst his friends, Mondrian, Jan Sluyters, Charles Toorop, Leo Gestel, Van de Vegte and Wim Hussem were going to Vollendam Ernst set up a studio on the island of Urk.

1919-1926 At this time Ernst began travelling to and painting in exotic places bringing back his work to exhibit and sell in Holland. He built a remarkable artist’s studio on a peninsula in the Loosdrecht lakes on stilts over the water and called it “De Hooge Wilgen”. In 1923 he received the Queen Wilhelmina Grant which allowed him to establish a studio in Paris.

1926-1939 During a trip to Ascona in 1927 Ernst met Karin Kluth. It was love at first sight. From that moment they were inseparable although it wasn’t until 1932 that they married, shortly before the birth of their son Ragnar. After 1935 the family spent its time between Loosdrecht and Hatherop Castle in England where Karin painted murals. In 1937 Ernst exhibited with Jan Sluyters, his mentor and friend, at the Stedelijk Museum (Holland). On 31st November 1939 the family caught the last boat for New York.

1939-1957| Established artists in Europe, they now had to start anew in the United States. At this time the Leydens became the van Leydens. On a zigzagging discovery trip across the States to Mexico to renew their tourist visas in 1941 Ernst and Karin were so enchanted by Southern California that they decided to stay. Portraitists of the rich and famous such as Basil Rathbone, Thomas Mann and Gloria Vanderbilt they also make glass tile murals for luxurious homes, restaurants and hotels.

1957-1969 Ernst exhibited his abstract work for the first time, leaving California in 1957. A 1959 trip to Vallauris inspires his ceramic work. Ernst turned to collage as a medium. He made frequent trips to the U.S. and Venice throughout his extremely active last decade including a trip around the world in 1965. Ernst collapsed in the summer of 1969. During his convalescence he reverted briefly to figurative work before his death at the end of the year.

Peintre d’origine hollandaise mort à Paris en 1969. Jusqu’en 1914 il étudie dans les Académies des Beaux-Arts de Rotterdam, Bruxelles, Berlin et Londres. Tout d’abord proche l’expressionnisme, il ne réalise sa première œuvre abstraite qu’en 1948. A partir de ses trois ateliers de Los Angeles, Venise et Paris, il mène une vie faite de voyages incessants et de rencontres amicales avec les célébrités de son temps : Chaplin, Stravinski, Brecht. Son œuvre est reconnue et achetée par les plus grands musées du monde. Dans les années 50, il pratique le collage de grand format dans le même esprit que Jasper Johns ou Rauschenberg, et s’applique à « révéler la vie secrète » des matériaux qu’il emploie. Stedeljik Museum à Amsterdam, Tate Gallery à Londres, Withney Museum à New-York, Musée National d’Art Moderne à Paris, Musée de Budapest, Le Caire, Lisbonne, Rome…
