Biography
Jan Meyer (Jan Meijer) was born in Assen 1927 (Nederland) and grew upon his father's farm in the countryside. He began drawing during the German occupation. Around 1944, he visited the studio of Werkman, whose advice influenced him. Meyer developed a working method that took his work away and beyond the careful provincial life depicted in his earlier work.
