Bergen School (art)

Portrait of Jan Toorop, by John Rädecker, Museum Kranenburgh, Bergen (NH)

The Bergen School (Dutch: Bergense School) was a movement in Dutch painting which manifested itself between 1915 and 1925. It is characterised by an expressionist style, influenced by cubism and showing a preference for darker colours. The participating artists lived and worked in or near the artist's village Bergen in the province of North Holland.
