Jan Sluijters’ work is considered to be of great importance to Dutch art history. He played a pioneering role in the young avant-garde, which also included artists such as Piet Mondriaan and Leo Gestel. From his time at the academy until shortly after the First World War, Sluijters experimented frequently and adopted styles such as luminism, fauvism, cubism and expressionism. After this he gained fame as a painter of portraits, nudes, flower still lifes and domestic scenes in a moderate expressionist style.
As befits a modern artist at the beginning of the twentieth century, Sluijters made a trip with Leo Gestel in January 1904 to Belgium and France, where they visited various museums. In that year, Sluijters won the prestigious Prix de Rome with a large academic painting. With the scholarship he won, Sluijters traveled to Italy and Spain in early 1905. From that moment on, he said, ‘considering that mysterious question of “beauty” and “the essence and purpose of art”. Mimic reality as faithfully as possible became irrelevant to him and his attention increasingly focused on the effect of the sunlight and the people on the street. In 1906 Sluijters left Spain early to return to Paris. This enabled him to visit the Salon des Indépendants just in time, where Kees van Dongen’s paintings of Parisian nightlife could be seen. At that time, Paris was the center of the art world and also the first city where modern electric light was used on a large scale. Inspired by the work of Van Dongen, Sluijters started his own search in Paris for a visual language with which he could express his impressions of modern city life. Café de Nuit -Café Olympia was the first large canvas that Sluijters made in Paris. Here, the effective new electric light is the radiant centerpiece.
Jan Sluijters can without doubt be called one of the most important artists of modernism in the Netherlands. Together with Jan Toorop (1858-1928) he was a board member of the Moderne Kunstkring, which was founded in 1910 by Conrad Kickert (1882-1965) as a protest against the resistance that many progressive artists encountered to have their work placed in exhibitions. Piet Mondriaan (1872-1944) was also a member of the board. Like Kees van Dongen (1877-1968) among others, Sluijters was strongly influenced by the use of color in French fauves. Sluijters’ work was all about colour; his colorite was his ultimate trademark.
In the years 1907-1911, Sluijters made his most famous and most outspoken luministic paintings. He incorporated the dynamic brushwork and unmixed colours, which he had previously seen in the work of Vincent van Gogh and the Parisian neo-impressionists and Fauvists, into his own expressive visual language. Color and shape were given a larger, more independent role, and the perception of the light was central. Sluijters developed this expressive form of pointilism with dynamic, brightly colored dots and stripes, and is known as luminism.
This early still life can be dated ca 1909. The variety of brushstrokes in expressive complementary colors give the work a radiant dynamism. The use of color and loose parallel brushstrokes in this still life show his inspiration for Van Gogh’s work.
