Ecoline Adrienne van Rees / Etie van Rees (1890-1973)
Ceramic artist.
Etie van Rees has made a lot of (often symbolic) fantasy creatures and was/is a source of inspiration for many of the modern and contemporary ceramic artists. Like Kamerlingh Onnes' work, the work of Etie van Rees portrays the bare essence of human / animal emotions in a way that can only be done by great artists.

Mrs. Johnny Rolf (1936-)
Potter / ceramic artist.
Johnny Rolf is one of the leading contemporary ceramists. Her oeuvre contains pottery, ceramic art, paintings, etchings and drawings. Her work reflects the magic of human emotions and a longing for spirituality but at the same time stays with both feet firmly attached to the ground.
Mrs. Johnny Rolf is married to Mr. Jan de Rooden.

Mr. Jan de Rooden (1931-)
Potter / ceramic artist.
Jan de Rooden's can be described as severe, introvert, monastic. The strong forms of his objects however are just one aspect of his work: he is also uses abstract and symbolic images, glazes and colours to give express himself artistically. His inspirations are Korea and the Cyclades (the icon which from 1960 forms part of his signature is inspired by the latter), Chinese bronzes, and architectural structures.
Jan de Rooden, like his wife Johnny Rolf, is seen as one of the leading Dutch contemporary ceramists.
