  Geer van Velde (1898-1977) worked initially as an expressionist. He settled in Paris in 1925 and was influenced by fauvism and cubism. After The Second World War he belonged to the École de Paris. Developed a lyrical-abstract style, in which the forms refer to the visible reality. His work is characterized by harmony and purity. Lived unlike his brother Bram extremely isolated.
  
  From 1938 his work undertook a radical change. That year he settled in the South of France, Cagnes-sur-Mer, where he came to develop his own abstract geometrical imagery, concentrated around the expression of light, a characteristic restrained use of color with matt hues. Observed forms, as well as the light and space surrounding them, he transforms into a balanced play of lines and mainly geometrical surfaces in delicate color schemes.
• A proposito di opere artista
  Geer van Velde appartiene agli artisti preminenti dell'École de Paris del dopoguerra. In origine Geer van Velde era un imbianchino. Geer si unì a suo fratello Bram a Parigi nel 1925 per sviluppare ulteriormente il suo talento artistico. In un primo momento, ha fatto un lavoro figurativo-espressionista. Tuttavia, soprattutto dopo il suo trasferimento nel sud della Francia nel 1938, ha trovato il suo stile, influenzato dalla luce mediterranea: la realtà ridotta a linee verticali, orizzontali e diagonali e aree di colore piene. In questo, la rappresentazione di una luce pallida e filtrata ha giocato un ruolo importante. Fino al 1940 nelle sue opere erano ancora riconoscibili figure e oggetti. Morì in Francia nel 1977.
