Jean Dulieu
Jan van Oort (13 April 1921 – 29 November 2006) was a Dutch children's book writer and comic strip cartoonist, working under the pseudonym of Jean Dulieu. He is known for his creation of ''Paulus the woodgnome''. Personal biography Jan van Oort was born on 13 April 1921 in Amsterdam.Many references suggest Soest, but that is wrong. He was born in Amsterdam, but lived in Soest when he first created Paulus. He was the son of concert singer Hendrik C. van Oort, and grandson of the political cartoonist Johan Braakensiek. Van Oort was into music, and creative activities such as drawing and puppet making. Jan van Oort studied the violin on the conservatorium where he graduated in 1940, and became violinist with the Amsterdam Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra.

While living at the time in Soest, he made twelve designs of gnomes, and let his wife Kitty Sijmons pick the best one. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
