ARMANDO (VAN DODEWEERD, HERMAN DIRK )
Armando was born Herman Dirk von Dodeweerd in Amsterdam in 1929. The multi-talented artist was one of the most important Dutch artists within contemporary art. Armando spent his youth in Amersfoort, where he experienced the National Socialists and the concentration camp at close quarters. Although Armando studied art history and philosophy at the University of Amsterdam from 1949 to 1954, he was self-taught when it came to learning the basics as a painter, writer, poet, sculptor, musician, theatre and film maker. He gradually discovered a passion for drawing, painting and writing. In 1979, the artist moved to Berlin, his second home, creating large-format paintings with meaningful titles in black and white and soon achieved his international breakthrough as a painter.
Armando died in Potsdam in 2018.
