His Dutch parents sent him and his brother to the Netherlands for further education, where he attended the Rotterdam Academy of Fine Arts, and travelled in Europe, acquiring first-hand knowledge of European modernism. He returned to Java in 1936 and then moved to New Zealand in 1939 with his family. He was one of the early European artists to be influenced by Maori culture, and known as a painter, sculptor, photographer and ceramicist. <p>He died in 1985.
