thumb thumb Pieter Hendrik Mullaard (1901-1991) was a Dutch painter and sculptor who focused primarily on landscapes, still lifes, seascapes, and portraits. Born in Rotterdam, Netherlands, Mullaard was the youngest of seven children. His father was a marble painter and his great-grandfather was a painter of art. However, at the urging of his father Mullaard learned a trade and became a plumber. In 1931 Mullaard married Jo Geelhoed, they remained married for sixty years until his death in 1991. While living in Hillegersberg, Mullaard joined the revolutionary OSP (Independent Socialist Party) and became very active in anti-Nazi demonstrations. It was not until 1936 that Mullaard began to paint. Entirely self-taught Mullaard was active as a painter and sculptor between 1936 and 1980. Over the course of his life, he lived and worked in Hillegersberg, Ermelo, Groningen and Bilthoven. He left a collection of approximately 250 paintings and 25 sculptures, most of which are now in a private collection in Ontario, Canada. thumb See Also
