Loet vanderveen biography examples

Loet Vanderveen was born in Rotterdam, Holland in 1921.

At night, listening to the sound of the wild animals in the zoo, he would fantasize about safaris to Africa...fantasies which were eventually realized! during the war....More...

Saturate yourself with your subject and the camera will all but take you by the hand."

Her photographs are in a number of museums, including the Brooklyn Museum, the Cleveland Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. She had no children. A frequent world traveler, Loet continuously sought inspiration from the graceful images of nature from the many lands that he visited.

Loet Vanderveen's iconic works have been exhibited in galleries and museums throughout the world, earning him the respect and recognition as one of the world's foremost sculptors of animal life.

A true origional Vanderveen is included in the permanent collection of numerous museums including Oakland Museum of art, Crocker art Museum, and the Cincinnati Art Museum. She learned from her father perfection; from her mother, the unabashed desire for self-improvement. Creatively unsatisfied with his profession he began private ceramic studies with the head of the Far Eastern department of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York (Fong Chao).

It was during this period in life that he developed his love for animals. Here his creativity exploded.

But, she also had the daring, cunning, and intuition to be where news was happening.
