Mrs. Nel Wiegersma-Daniëls (1923). Otto van Rees (Dutch, 1884-1957). Oil on canvas. Van Rees exhibited four paintings at the legendary Dada exhibition in the Café Voltaire (1916), along with Hans Arp, who remained a close friend. Cubism became part of some Dadaist’s vocabulary and van Rees’s work in the 1910s reflects this trend. After World War I, the sobering tenets of New Realism (Neue Sachlichkeit) define van Rees’s paintings. -- source link
