About
During his secondary school education, he often spent his free hours at the Boymans Museum and combined his final school year with evening classes at the Rotterdam Academy of Visual Arts. He received his painting and technical training in Munich,
When Pieter de Haard lived in Paris in the 1940s, he created work based on musical rhythms, which he translated into visual art. Yet his great interest was in space and infinity, which is visible in his figurative and expressive works. Already during the Second World War he created his first geometric abstract works: geometric figures, based on age-old measurement systems, with the golden ratio as his favorite. This involves dividing a line in two such that the shortest part is equal to twice the longest part. The resulting relationships always look harmonious.
De Haard's work looks cosmic and is often exciting in its color combinations.
