Style and Artistic Evolution
The artistic style of Gerrit van 't Net underwent several shifts throughout his career, moving through figurative, surrealist, and more abstract phases. In his early years in Utrecht, around 1930, he focused on surrealist paintings, drawings, and graphics. These works often utilized compositions based on academic plaster casts of Classical Antiquity figures and detached human limbs. His oeuvre frequently explored themes of the nude, eroticism, and sexual symbolism, including drawings where a man is dominated by a woman.
Beyond his personal practice, he was a dedicated teacher. Starting in 1953, he provided instruction to various students at his studio and at the Vrije Academie 'de Leeuwenburg' in Amsterdam. His teaching philosophy emphasized that the essence of art lay not in the object being drawn, but in the movement of the charcoal on the paper.
