Ger Lataster (1920-2012), born in Schinnen, was an influential Dutch painter known for his abstract expressionism. After moving to Amsterdam, he became part of the Amsterdam Limburgers and further developed his work within modern art. His paintings are characterized by bold brushstrokes and expressive use of color, often inspired by nature and human emotions. Lataster's art was exhibited in museums such as the Stedelijk Museum and the Rijksmuseum. His style combined abstraction with existential themes and nature.
