Jan Sluijters, along with Leo Gestel and Piet Mondriaan, is considered one of the first Dutch "moderns." In the early 20th century, Sluijters sought to connect with the European avant-garde in Paris. There, at the Salon des Indépendants, he was introduced to Neo-Impressionism, Fauvism, Luminism, Cubism, and Expressionism—new artistic movements that he experimented with over the next 15 years. As an ambitious and virtuosic painter, Sluijters constantly explored new forms of expression, introducing light and color into Dutch painting.
