Jopie Huisman (18 October 1922 – 29 September 2000) was a Dutch autodidactic painter[1] and rag-and-bone man.

[5] In 1942, he was arrested during a raid and put to work at a labor camp in Kassel, Germany.

Huisman managed to escape from the camp,[6] and found refugee in Workum.

[4] In 1953, his business failed,[4] and Huisman became a rag-and-bone man, buying and selling old clothes and scrap metal.

Huisman frantically started to paint the old clothes, worn-out shoes, children's dolls, and other items he had in storage.

[13] On 29 February 1992, a newly built museum was opened in Workum to exhibit his paintings.

[10] Huisman's coffin was transported from his museum to the cemetery in a horse drawn rag-and-bone man's cart.
