December 22, 1931

Hendrik Maarten Krabbé (May 4, 1868 to December 22, 1931), the Dutch painter, was married to Miep Rust (1874-1956). We have several pictures he did below. The cats in them seem integral to a simple life, a life which was, as he painted, changing. And he was part of the future: his son Maarten Krabbe was a famous painter, and his grandson, Jeroen Krabbe, was famous in the arts as an actor and director. Jeroem's son, Jasper Krabbe is also a painter.
