Freek van den Berg (Amsterdam 1918-Veessen 2000) belongs to the group Fauvists and was one of the last Dutch painters who worked in this expressive and colorful way. His oeuvre comprises half a century of divergent representations, of cityscapes and landscapes, but above all also the theme in which the woman returns every time. He was a member of the "independents" and also an art critic.  Various books about his oeuvre have appeared.
