Otto B. De Kat 1907-1995, his work is characterized by a modest, intimate atmosphere. Although he worked abstractly, he never left the factual reality. Landscapes and still lifes were his favorite genre and for that he usually drew from his immediate surroundings. Both in his own work and in his professorship that emphasizes craftsmanship, respect for tradition and a balance between reason and emotion. As a watercolorist he was particularly driven in the use of color and form to arrive at a composition. His work can be found in many Dutch museums.
