In the latter, the recognisable forms of caravans are deliberately broken down and abstracted, an approach also evident in the heavily worked surface of \u003cem\u003eCompositie\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVan Rossem was also a participant in the Netherlands' remarkable post-war system of support for professional artists. His 1974 painting \u003cem\u003eCompositie\u003c\/em\u003e carries an official label from the Dienst voor 's Rijks Verspreide Kunstvoorwerpen and the state inventory number SZ 85257, placing the work within the administrative system associated with the Beeldende Kunstenaarsregeling (BKR).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BKR allowed professional artists who were unable to earn sufficient income from the commercial market to submit artworks in return for financial support. It ultimately resulted in an enormous collection of contemporary Dutch art administered by the state.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVan Rossem remains surprisingly little documented today, despite his work having entered this government collection. His surviving paintings show an artist particularly interested in the point at which a recognisable landscape or subject begins to dissolve into colour, form and paint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"viki.knott","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55546236797308,"sku":"X103","price":740.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0505\/7295\/1736\/files\/7B81122D-AEF4-457C-981F-D7BAC0645A09.jpg?v=1788189958","url":"https:\/\/www.vikiknott.com\/products\/compositie-1974-hans-van-rossem-dutch","provider":"viki.knott","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
