I am searching for a tone, which we call 'colored grey'. I mean that all colors, even the strongest, can be brought together in such a way as to give the impression of a warm, vital grey. (translation from the Dutch original: Fons Heijnsbroek)

About Gerard Bilders

Albertus Gerardus "Gerard" Bilders (9 December 1838 – 8 March 1865), son of painter Johannes Warnardus Bilders, was a Dutch landscape-painter who foreshadowed with his typical 'warm grey' the tonal painting style of the Hague School painters. He was frequently painting in plein air with Anton Mauve, and Willem Maris around the village Oosterbeek.
