Matthieu Wiegman

Matthew John Maria (Matthieu) Wiegman was a Dutch artist. He was a painter, artist, wall painter and glassier, and his hand posters and book bands are also known.

Wiegman visited the Crafts School in Alkmaar. He arrived in Bergen in 1911 when he completed his studies at the Amsterdam Academy of Fine Arts in Amsterdam between 1905 and 1909. He was together with Leo Gestel and Arnout Colnot one of the most important figures in the Bergens School. He had a lot of admiration for Paul Cézanne's work.

In 1909 he made the design of his first religious painting, the preaching of Saint Willibrordus. During his career he made many religious performances. The Bergen painters pointed to him on the new possibilities. Wiegman went on heartfelt. He mostly succumbed to the luminous work. He also regularly traveled to France to work there. He was a member of the Dutch Artist Circle. In 1918, at the age of 32, he was polled for the professorship at the Amsterdam Academy.

Eventually, the optimistic element in Wiegman's work is increasingly dominating, until the last 20 years of his life, using the brightest and hardest colors, colors that are very unusual. Important to Wiegman's work were his still life inspired by his friend De Zarate. Most preferably, Wiegman used to paint objects for background filling.
