Jan Dibbets

Jan Dibbets (born 9 May 1941, in Weert) is an Amsterdam-based Dutch conceptual artist.

[1] In the late 1950s and early 1960s, he started as an art teacher at the Tilburg Academy and studied painting with Jan Gregoor in Eindhoven.

At that same period, he visited London and met Richard Long and other artists working with land art.

He returned to Amsterdam, incorporated land-art based theories into his work and began to use photography as a "dialogue between nature and cool geometrical design by rotating the camera on its axis" with his "perspective corrections".

[2] His work in the Dutch pavilion at the Venice Biennale in 1972 gave him an international reputation.
