• Har Sanders was a Dutch artist. Sanders studied - after his alternative military service in the National Psychiatric Institution in Eindhoven - from 1953 at the Royal Academy of Visual Arts in The Hague. In 1958 he obtained his diploma in 'illustrative'.

During his alternative military service in 1950, he met fellow conscientious objector (and later artist) Frank Letterie, whom he encouraged to start drawing. Letterie developed into a sculptor in the following years. In 2003 both exhibited in the museum for figurative art 'De Buitenplaats' in Eelde. Har Sanders makes screen prints, paintings, drawings, linoleum cuts and etchings. After he lived and worked for a long time in Stiphout (North Brabant) and then in Bad Nieuwescha and Oude Pekela. In October 2007, an exhibition of Sanders' work was opened in the Helmond Playhouse. To mark this occasion, the booklet 'Har Sanders en Helmond' was published. In 't Speelhuis there is a tent canvas painting on the wall and ceiling of eight hundred square meters, which makes you feel like you are in a tent.
