Jan Meijer (1927-1995), also written Jan Meyer, was a Dutch painter and lithographer who moved to Dieudonné in France in the 1960s. He developed his artistic skills alongside the poet Evert Rinsema, who was close to the De Stijl movement, and had his first exhibitions with the De Ploeg group between 1947 and 1950. Alongside Fontana, Klein, Saura, Appel and Corneille, he became a friend of Raoul Ubac and Pierre Dmitrienko after his move to Dieudonné.
His work is represented by the Protée gallery, among others, and can be found in the collections of many international museums (Stedelijk Amsterdam, Musée Art Moderne Paris, Tate London, etc.).
His abstract painting, made up of large homogeneous layers of colour superimposed and crushed with a knife, makes him one of the representatives of “Lyrical Abstraction”.
