    Jacobus Johannes Doeser (1884-1969). Doeser was a painter with a long track record and a very extensive oeuvre characterized by many styles. Born at the end of the 19th century, he experienced many developments in the modern visual arts.

    Through his marriage to Betsy Carlebur, descendant of a family of painters from Dordrecht, he ended up in an artistic environment. Like many artists at the time, he was influenced by theosophy and the emerging socialism.

    Doeser traveled extensively and one of his sources of income was the production of what he himself called "picture postcards", paintings of flower still lifes and landscapes that were popular on the market.

    In addition, he developed as an artist in his own style. This web book shows that behind the man of the famous flower paintings is an extremely interesting person.

    A socially committed man with theosophical and philosophical interests who moved in many fields of the visual arts.
    From picture postcard painting, social prints to paintings based on theosophical teachings, an example of which can be found in the Singer Museum in Laren.

    Jacobus Johannes Doeser (Jacobus Doeser) was born on December 8, 1884 in Utrecht and died on December 14, 1970 in Heemstede.

    Doeser was self-taught and came to beautiful results as an artist entirely on his own (a real natural talent is whispered).

    Doeser worked in many places in the Netherlands (Laren, Utrecht, Zandvoort, Noordwijk, Bennebroek) but also in France (Paris) and Germany (Leipzig).

    In his life, as an autodidact, he mastered the many techniques such as lithography, (oil) painting, drawing, pastel painting and watercolor painting. In the various techniques, his works are known in the field of figure representations, (sea) landscapes, portraits and (flower and book) still lifes.

    Doeser was a member of both the society of sculpture artists 'Art is our goal' (Haarlem) and of the Vereeniging Sint Lucas (Amsterdam).
