Biography

Willem jan Pieter van der Does was an internationally known Dutch painter, illustrator, draftsman, and water colorist in the early and mid 1900's. He is one of the founding fathers of the Dutch Indies impressionist movement.

He was the son of a sea captain working in the Dutch East Indies. He came to Indonesia circa 1918 as a civil servant to survey the country, in this function, he traveled all over the archipelago, such as Surabaya, Batavia, Medan, Malang and Bandung.

He participated in several group and solo exhibition in the Netherlands and Indonesia. He was also the first ever known, Dutchmen to travel to Antarctica. There, he made about 144 sketches for his book "Storm, Ijs, en Walvisschen" which describes his adventure and journey with his fellow crew member in exploring Antartica. He returned to the Netherlands in 1946, where he settled in Zeist until he died on 3 February 1966.

Willem van der Does wasn't just a painter and traveller, he was also a great teacher in his own rights by teaching many other painters, which later become some of the most promminet painter of the era, one for example is the famous 20th century Indonesian painter Koempoel Sujatno (1912-1987). Does also collaborate with Gerard Pieter Adolfs in his lifetime as an artist in the East Indies, they are both great friends in many ways. Together, Does and Adolfs create one of the very first impressionist movement in East Indies (who brought and applied the Amsterdam impressionist movement). This are the reasons why when compared, those works by the two artist sometimes has many similarities.

Willem van der Does'es illustrations are widely used throughout the year of 1950's in Holland, those illustrations are being put and printed in many books, that are usually a series of a translated book. An example is the Dutch translated book version of the famous memoir written by the famous American writer Richard Henry Dana Jr. in 1840, titled "Two Years Before the Mast". This book were translated into Dutch by Holland-America Line ship's commodore, Captain Pieter Verhoog, both Captain Verhoog and Does are very close friends. Willem van der Does was once also a newspaper illustrator and editor (after he went back to the Netherland in 1946), there he did many of journalistic works for the local newspaper publisher.

In many of his works Willem van der Does often used a bright and strong colour, and applying the paint thinly onto the canvas. He does this technique in order to create layers for his painting. As an Impressionist painter, Willem van der Does depicts many daily subject, but he often depict many subject that is not often considered by other painters in his period.

His works had been collected by many named collectors, museums, institute, and gallery around the world including Netherland, Indonesia, United States, Singapore, United Kingdom, France, Austria, and Hong Kong.

Critics

{{Quote|text=Willem van der Does was adventurous, clever, omnivorously curious, keenly observant and at the same time very generous in his estimation of others, he worked very hard, had a good sense of humour, and was so presistent in the pursuit of his goals.|source=Ruth van Baak Griffioen, writer, Williamsburg, Virginia, 2003}}{{Quote|text=Van der Does is without a doubt a fine author. I sat on the edge of my chair while reading his translated book in manuscript form. It really made me wonder wether I was reading a ship's journal, a tantalising autobiographical novel, or -if at all possible- a combination of the two!|source=Joost C. A. Schokkenbroek, curator of Nederlands Scheepvaartmuseum & New Bedford Whaling Museum}}{{Quote|text=Willem van der Does'es story of storm, ice, and whales lures readers to want more while also warning them to stay safely at home. The leviathan lives, we discover, and we thankfully grip our remove from the cold and the danger as we excitedly read on.|source=William F. Buckley Jr., founder of National Review}}
