IN THE MEDIA

"But what he does, he does with feeling. The choice of his themes confirms this opinion. His début is modest but honest."

From: Limburgs Dagblad, 1958.

"The large paintings almost bounce from the walls as they are so sparkling and dynamic, abundantly brushed and modeled by the paletteknife."

From: De Limburger, December 1976.

Studio (1999).

"And then there is the ever present sun, the eternal play of light and dark. It is there Louis van der Beesen is wandering about, enjoying it visibly. It is not surprising that he got a name as follower of the French impressionists."

From: Eindhovens Dagblad, December 1983.

"Seine lichtdurchfluteten werke, mit grosszügigem pinselstrich komponiert, verraten die fahigkeit des einfühlsamen künstlers, selbst empfundene atmosphäre eindrucksvoll wiederzugeben."

From: Landkreis Harburg, Juli 1985.

"Beautiful women fascinate the artist. Most of the time they form large beautiful spots on his paintings, which show great dignity and elegance."

From: Tableau, October 1986.

Algarve, Portugal (2001).

"The style is very impressionistic and, looking at the development of the painter for years, already present in his early works. The free touch is so to speak his signature."

From: Kunstwerk, February/March 1993.
