Leen Quist

Leen Quist (Sint Philipsland, September 4, 1942 – Veere, April 11, 2014)[1] was a Dutch ceramist, who was known for his own style, a perfect finish and geometric (blue) lines.

According to Thimo te Duits, author of Modern Ceramics in the Netherlands (1990), Quist' pots, bowls and boxes witnesses "a noble simplicity."

[3] He had donated his entire legacy to Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam including his house "Niet Altyd Somer" (Not Always Summer) in Middelburg, art works, antiques and paintings, and his library on ceramics.

Wide tires (mud layers) in pastel shades (yellow, pink red) giving his work a less severe nature.

According to Mieke Spruit-Ledeboer (1985) makes Quist "functional ceramics in porcelain with a special nobility".
