Louise van der Veen was best known for the photographs of sculptors she began to take in the latter half of the 1950s. The commission, from the City of Amsterdam in 1956, involved taking pictures of resistance monuments made by important Dutch sculptors. Enlargements of these photographs were placed in front of the Palace on Dam Square on the occasion of the unveiling of the National War Memorial. Van der Veen had received the commission because of her training as a sculptress. She was also the widow of Gerrit van der Veen, who had been executed for his activities in the Dutch resistance during the German occupation.
The favourable reception of these photographs encouraged her to start taking pictures of sculptors in their studios. Many of the sitters were friends who had worked in the resistance.
In the Netherlands she photographed Mari Andriessen, Hildo Krop, Charlotte van Pallandt and Pearl Perlmuter. Abroad, she visited the studios of Henry Moore, Ossip Zadkine and Marino Marini. « less...
