Additional information:

Nola Hatterman was a Dutch actress, painter and designer. During the 1930s, she became involved with progressive Surinamese intellectuals in the Netherlands, including Anton de Kom. In 1953, she moved to Suriname to teach a new generation of Surinamese artists. Identity and Suriname became central themes in her work. She regarded art as a means of challenging discrimination and colonialism.

Hatterman embodies the shared postcolonial heritage of Suriname and the Netherlands. Her work forms an important link between the artistic histories of both countries.

Her work has recently been acquired by the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam and is represented in the permanent collection of the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam.
