Dietrich Grootjans
Dietrich Grootjans is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Manos & Anastasia Faltaits Folk Art & Ethnographic Museum.
Dietrich Grootjans carried a tiny notebook everywhere and sketched strangers’ hands in the tram. Once he turned a whole page into a single spread thumbprint and called it a portrait. His paintings hide tiny jokes: a coffee cup that’s also a face, a shadow that waves back. Look up his 2001 “Μάνος Φαλτάϊτς” – the Greek title is a red herring; the colors are pure Dutch light.
