Piet van Stuivenberg

Van Stuivenberg started his sculpting career as a stonemason, and was first influenced by expressionism, later adopting an abstract style characterised by geometric shapes and cleaner forms. In Rotterdam he joined the artist group Kring van beeldende kunstenaars R33, which was founded in 1933 and disbanded in 1941. He made study trips to Brussels, London and Paris. In the Netherlands, he subsequently joined the artist group Vrije Beelden (Free Images), founded by the Rotterdam artists Koos van Vlijmen and Wout van Heusden and others in 1946. He also joined the group Creatie (Creation), founded by Willy Boers en Ger Gerrits in 1950. In 1950, his work was represented at the fifth Salon des Réalités Nouvelles in Paris. His work is in the collections of the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam and in the Stedelijk Museum Schiedam.
