HEPPE DE MOOR 

The Hague , March 12, 1938 – Bussum , February 29, 1992, was a Dutch visual artist.

De Moor trained as a student of Co Westerik and Henri Boot at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague. In the 1980s, he teaches at the Academy of Visual Arts in Rotterdam. As a painter, he was a member of the Artistic Circle of The Hague. Between 1968 and 1971, he exhibited at the Galerie Krikhaar in Amsterdam and at the Haags Gemeentemuseum. Later, the emphasis in his work increasingly shifted to monumental objects, made from natural stone, steel, ferrocement, cast resin and rubber, commissioned by government and corporate clients. Many of these images stand in public spaces today, such as the Peace Monument in Amsterdam’s Hoekenesgracht (1986), Breath (1991) in Ommen and the trees at Den Bosch Citadel (1986).

In 1966, he married the future writer Margriet de Moor, with whom he had two daughters, one of whom became an artist, Lara (1969), and the other a writer, Marente (1972).
