The Sarphatipark is a public urban park located in the stadsdeel Amsterdam Oud-Zuid in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The park is named after Samuel Sarphati.[1]
In 1942, the park was renamed "Bollandpark" after G.J.P.J. Bolland, because Samuel Sarphati was a Jew. The old name was restored after the war in 1945.[2]
The Dutch painter Mommie Schwarz and his wife Else Berg lived adjacent to the park from 1927 until their deportation to, and execution at, the Auschwitz concentration camp in 1942. Some of their last works were landscape paintings of the park.
A work of art in the characteristic style of Don Fonzarelli. Sharp lines, contrast and with an almost serene atmosphere. Whether in color or black and white, it splashes from the canvas, paper, aluminum, Xpozer, giclees et cetera. If it is a canal in Amsterdam, a street in Haarlem, an impression of Antwerp, Rotterdam, Utrecht, Delft, Alkmaar, Edam, a beautiful nude, a view of a river, a village in the distance, his oeuvre is broad bulky and extends out weekly. With his camera Don Fonzarelli pulls out daily to write with light and hunt for the beauty in the world. His work is available through his website http://www.donfonzarelli.com but also through cooperation with Work On The Wall it?s easy and fast to obtain in high quality for a large audience.
